"Anyox has been nothing for approximately 80 years but suddenly it lives again in the warm, loving memories of a writer who was a boy in the northern British Columbia town where the largest copper smelter in the British empire was located. A human story of 3,000 people who found a strange happiness in a town cut off from the world by mountain and sea, drenched with coastal rains, choked with sulphurous smelter gas, bereft of grass or flowers and buried each winter in snow." - dust jacket. 111 pages including black and white photographic plates. Book clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. Average wear to dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A quality copy of this fascinating history.
