Produktinformationen zu „Voyages of Hope (ePub)“
A line of nervous young women got off a ship in Victoria Harbour in 1862 and had to walk the gauntlet between two rows of jostling, eager men. One girl, proposed to on the spot, accepted equally quickly and left town with her new husband. Why did these women leave everything behind in England and come to the west coast? The answers lie in the lusty turmoil of a gold-rush frontier, the horrible disruptions of industrial England and the conflicting aims of earnest Christians and early British feminists.
Autoren-Porträt von Peter Johnson
Peter Johnson was born in England, moving to Canada as a boy. He has a strong interest in Aboriginal pre-history and has examined petroglyph sites throughout Canada and New Mexico. Peter has also canoed parts of the Canadian Shield, bicycled through some bigger bits of the country, and run sailing programs with students in the Gulf Islands. Peter holds graduate degrees from the University of Manitoba and the University of British Columbia, and taught history and English to secondary school students for 35 years. Now retired, he continues to write about little-known aspects of our coastal history. "There is still not enough time in the day to do it all."
