Davis (1935-2010), radio broadcaster and devoted historian of Vancouver, British Columbia, died while finishing up his history of the city from its earliest beginnings as a collection of crude wood buildings and stumps to its status as a metropolitan city today. However, with the help of the publisher, Harbour Publishing, and the Vancouver Historical Society, the book was published in time for the city's 125th anniversary. Packed with facts, humor, and plenty of black and white period photographs, the book will interest a variety of readers, from history buffs to travelers.
