Excerpt from A Suburb in the Making, West Vancouver Two years ago the settlers in our district were. Re garded as pioneers who scorned wealth and bore privation cheerfuly for love of beauty. Summer visitors to our shore felt that they had left lax behind, and set themselves to prove that they cool-9 endure the hardships of the wilderness with the fortitude of their forefathers The links with civilization were broken; there were no telephonm, no postman, and no railway trains. The water that they drank came from a stream in the forest; the strangers who met them on the road wished them good-day. Everything was primitive and barbarous. They returned to the city exultant; and, after the fashion of explorers, told strange tales of adventure to entertain th -ir friends. There they were assured of a respectful hearing, for it was generally known that the coast between Vancouver and Alaska was picturesque, and there were optimists even in those days who ventured to predict that, some day in the distant future. Iiollyburn would be a fashionable summer resort. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
