Description

212 pages. Several black and white photos in text. Author's signature and brief generic inscription atop title page. Prior owner has also signed top of title page and written two page numbers of interest to her. This is explained by her letter to the editor of the Penticton Herald, hand-dated 1954, which is stapled just below and concerns her father, Tom Ellis, who is highly relevant to both pages she has written in that they deal with Mr. Ellis's contentious purchase of the large Haynes Estate in 1895. Contents include: Fur Trading Era 1811-1861; Ranching Era 1861-1920; Evolution of Ranching to Horticulture; Osoyoos Village 1920 to Date; Incidents Pertinent to Osoyoos and District. Average wear. Few light pencil markings to contents. Moisture exposure to several pages. Short opening at bottom of backstrip. A sound copy of this fascinating and unique copy. Hale and Barman #315. Book
