About This Item
From the back cover: "Lying just east of Vancouver, British Columbia, Burke Mountain overlooks the confluence of the Pitt, Coquitlam and Fraser Rivers. In an easy conversational style, "Mountain Memories" traces the story of the mountain through early Indian relics and through historical records and old maps of the first explorations; it gives voice to the drama and humour of the hardy few originals who first made the mountain their home; it traces the beginnings of industry and commerce, the founding of the city of Port Coquitlam and its struggle for recovery from flood devastation and from the near ruin of overly optimistic boom-time spending; it tells how it came about that the Municipality of Coquitlam encompasses its present far-flung area; it looks at the wave of development surging up the mountainside today--this book tells it all in a style which combines careful research with warmth and affection."
