Reviews
Ruth Sandwell, editor of Beyond the City Limits: Rural History in British Columbia:
An engaging character with a fine eye for social and cultural observation. The editor's sensitive additions to the diaries allow the reader the opportunity of understanding the broader personal, regional, and historical significance of [the diaries] ... The [editor's] sensitivity to historical issues of culture and ethnicity is one of the characteristics that make this such a good local history.
