BOOK COVER

our newest book: Caulkboot Riverdance

PRICE

The first part of the book is an overview of logging and mill operations on the Columbia-Arrow Lakes Region from Castlegar to the Big Bend.

	The Arrow Lakes Lbr. Co. at Arrow Head chose to transport logs from the Galena Bay area by the use of a locomotive. This company, along with the Big Bend Lbr. Co at Arrowhead and the Bowman Lbr. Co. at Comaplix, made the upper lake one of the largest lumber complexes in the province at the turn of the century.
	Powerful tugs were needed to ply the heavy currents along the Columbia River above Revelstoke. Giant log jams had to be disentangled in this Celgar operation of the 1960's. How it was done is explained by the young men involved in the operation.

All five books in this series are hard cover, 9" x 12", printed on glossy paper. Replete with original photographs, great effort was made to portray the history accurately, chronologically and in an interesting manner so that all readers could not only understand the stories but get a real sense of life during these exciting years of development. Based on personal interviews made by the author as far back as 1970 and an equally impressive collection of photographs (around 7000), a history of the Arrow Lakes is presented to the reader in a format designed to capture one's interest. The Historical Society, formed in 1984, is most proud of this acheivement that took twenty years to complete. ~ Payment by Cheque or Money Order, prior to shipping. ~ ~ Orders for these books can be shipped.
