Don Benson takes us back through 150 stirring years in New Westminster, a Royal City born of British Columbia's frantic Fraser River Gold Rush of 1859. Using his trademark blend of prose, narrative verse and photographs, the author transports us back to a time when New Westminster was a special blend of Victorian England and the American Wild West, where its earliest endearing traditions were forged. Along the way, we learn how New Westmisnter, perhaps more than any city in Canada, became a city steeped in the unique, charming, and proud traditions it wears today as its mantle.
