Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Since the presence of copper in the mountains behind Britannia Beach was discovered in 1898 it is estimated that about 60,000 men have been employed there. Some have worked for a grubstake, some have found Britannia a place for summer employment, some have worked off and on as they drifted from mine to mine and some came with their families and stayed until retirement. Many stories could be told of life in what for so long, were the isolated camps that comprised Britannia Mines. This book was first written by the well known historian, Bruce Ramsey, attempts, for the first time within our knowledge to collect and preserve the historical data and some of the anecdotal material. It will be a source of accurate information for the curious and interested and a stimulus to the recollection of happy memories for the legion of Britannia-ites."

Book excerpt: In 1915, young newlywed Olivia Fitzpatrick leaves her affluent Seattle family to join her husband Frank in the isolated and tight-knit seaside mining community of Britannia Beach, Canada. Olivia has always gone against the grain with her choices in life, but as she boards a vessel bound for a foreign country she has never visited, she knows her life is about to change forever. Frank and Olivia share a loving and intimate reunion after her ship docks in Britannia Beach, but before she has a chance to enjoy her new-found happiness, many of the town's friendly citizens and their children are killed in a horrific natural disaster. A tragic mudslide triggers a series of events that soon befall the young Olivia and the close community that she has joined. Among the members of that community whom she will encounter are the fiery redhead Lucy Bentall; ship captain Frenchie Cates; the always surprising Yada family; handsome Officer Wolanski; man-crazy Sarah Leiboldt; and the fearsome J. W. McMichael. In spite of catastrophes, flu epidemics, and the chaos of World War I, Olivia is determined to continue her life in Britannia Beach, but fate may have other plans.
Download or read book Bright Seas Pioneer Spirits written by Betty Keller and published by TouchWood Editions. This book was released on 2011-07-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For well over a century, the bright seas of the Sunshine Coast have been attracting visitors to the waterfront resorts, fishing lodges and beaches that rest between Howe Sound and the spectacular Princess Louisa Inlet. These coastal hotspots and communities were settled by a few courageous and daring pioneers whose names are still familiar today: Gibsons, Roberts, Whitaker, Donley, Silvey, Griffiths. Bright Seas, Pioneer Spirits tells the stories of the homesteaders, loggers, prospectors and fishermen who carved out a living on the treacherous mountainside that rises straight out of the inlets. These men and women came with nothing in their pockets and founded logging empires, shingle mills and sawmills, launched fish canneries, a glue factory and even a well-known jam factory, and scaled the mountainsides to start copper and gold mines. They travelled and traded by boat, long before coastal roads were built in the 1950s, and their pioneering spirits still ride the bright seas of the Sunshine Coast today.

Download or read book Ruled Britannia written by Harry Turtledove and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-11-05 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1597. For nearly a decade, the island of Britain has been under the rule of King Philip in the name of Spain. The citizenry live under an enforced curfew—and in fear of the Inquisition’s agents, who put heretics to the torch in public displays. And with Queen Elizabeth imprisoned in the Tower of London, the British have no symbol to unite them against the enemy who occupies their land. William Shakespeare has no interest in politics. His passion is writing for the theatre, where his words bring laughter and tears to a populace afraid to speak out against the tyranny of the Spanish crown. But now Shakespeare is given an opportunity to pen his greatest work—a drama that will incite the people of Britain to rise against their persecutors—and change the course of history.
