The Works of Hubert Howe Bancroft V32: History of British Columbia, 1792-1887 (1887) is a comprehensive historical account of the Canadian province of British Columbia, covering the period from its discovery by European explorers in 1792 to the end of the 19th century. Written by the renowned American historian and ethnologist, Hubert Howe Bancroft, this book provides a detailed narrative of the region's early history, including the first encounters between indigenous peoples and European explorers, the establishment of trading posts and settlements, and the gold rush that brought thousands of prospectors to the region in the mid-1800s. Bancroft's work is based on extensive research and draws on a wide range of primary sources, including government documents, journals, and personal accounts. He provides detailed descriptions of the geography, climate, and natural resources of the region, as well as the social, economic, and political developments that shaped its history. The book is divided into several sections, each covering a distinct period in British Columbia's history. The first section covers the early exploration and settlement of the region, while subsequent sections focus on the fur trade, the gold rush, and the development of the province's political and social institutions. Overall, The Works of Hubert Howe Bancroft V32: History of British Columbia, 1792-1887 (1887) is an important historical resource for anyone interested in the early history of Canada's westernmost province. Bancroft's meticulous research and engaging writing style make this book an enjoyable and informative read for scholars, students, and general readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
