The salmon people / Hugh W. McKervill. by McKervill, Hugh W. Whitecap Books, 2015. Call #: 639.2756 M157s Subjects Pacific salmon fisheries -- British Columbia -- History.   Salmon canning industry -- British Columbia -- History.   Salmon industry -- British Columbia -- History. ISBN:  9781770502086 (pbk.) Description:  256 pages ; 22 cm. Notes:  Originally published: Sidney, B.C. : Gray's Pub., 1967. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "A history of Canada's west coast. From the first people's tales of salmon to BC's first cannery, to overfishing and the environmental concerns that still exist today. How BC's fishing industry reached where it is today. Author Hugh Wilford McKervill once fished alongside the First Nations peoples of Bella Bella. Both an historically accurate account of the fishing industry and a salty buoyant memoir. In the author's words, "so long as there fish surging from the sea there will be salmon people willing to brave the torments of nature to catch them, and the salmon will probably come forever -- if man does not destroy them."
