The area adjacent to the Surrey / Blaine border has a varied and colorful past.
The early pioneers settled here, tilled the soil, built their homesteads, and fished the local waters. Together they developed this beautiful part of the west, and glimpses of our fading history, although rapidly disappearing, can still be seen in the structures remaining form that era - those that have not fallen prey to new developments or natural decay.
This book is published in an attempt to enhance our understanding of this unique heritage and point out the locations of these historical local landmarks.
Many have disappeared in the past few years, and many are in various stages of deterioration, but it is hoped that the drawings on these pages will kindle an interest in what for most is a forgotten part of history and culture. |
