Becoming Vancouver: A History Francis Daniel
A lot has changed since the last A-to-Z history of Vancouver appeared several decades ago--award-winning historian Daniel Francis captures all of that change and more in this new era-by-era narrative of Canada's Pacific Gateway city. Tracing decades of transformation, Becoming Vancouver examines the events and personalities that have defined the city's geography, economy and politics. Becoming Vancouver follows the evolution of the city: from early habitation by the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations; to the area's settlement as a mill town; to the "Open City" years of flourishing speakeasies and brothels during the 1920s; to the years of poverty and protest during the 1930s followed by the long wartime and postwar boom to the city's current status as real-estate investment choice of the global super-rich.
