First Invaders by Alan Twigg
The names Cook and Quadra ring a bell for most of us, as do Bering and Vancouver, but how much do we know about the Greek-born navigator, Juan de Fuca or the Machiavelli of the maritime fur trade, John Meares? British Columbia's earliest authors and explorers are skillfully introduced, for the first time collectively, by Alan Twigg. This is a compelling account of the characters, events and intrigues that comprised British Columbia's earliest literary history prior to 1800.
Alan Twigg, the publisher of BC BookWorld, has written sixteen books and produced six films. He has created a public service reference site to offer free information on more than 8,000 British Columbia authors. In 2000 he received the first annual Gray Campbell Award for outstanding contributions to the writing and publishing community of British Columbia. He was inducted as a member of the Order of Canada in 2015 and received the 13th annual Lieutenant Governors Award for Literary Excellence in 2016. Alan has spent three years in personal interviews with Dr. Aall to gather up her amazing life story. He lives in Vancouver. Visit him online at www.alantwigg.com.
