    About this ebook

    From "Gassy" Jack Deighton and the Klondike Gold Rush to the Chinese Head Tax, the Strathcona Protest, the Vancouver Canucks, and the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, no book is more comprehensive and fun on Vancouver. Included among the interesting details of the city are profiles on original "Dominic Da Vinci," Larry Campbell, Douglas Coupland, environmentalist David Suzuki, and rocker Bryan Adams.
