Hope and Forty Acres
A Nelson Memoir
Reginald Dawson
|
|
Just a few miles north of Nelson, BC a settlement of mostly British farmers was established after the turn of the century. Believing the area to be ideal for growing fruit, the settlers sought to establish themselves as gentlemen farmers. It was here that Reginald Dawson settled with his family and his own vision of a genteel life. As his memoir clearly shows, the realities of pioneer life where not at all as expected. His writing is often humorous, frequently poetic and consistently informative offering a rare glimpse into a world we have long since lost.
