Various media outlets reported on the earliest known account of British Columbia by an English woman, which was acquired by UBC Rare Books and Special Collections.
Jean Barman, a professor in UBC’s department of educational studies, told Global “this journal is a gift to all Canadians.”
UBC librarian Melody Burton told CBC Radio’s Early Edition that the book is “quite different because it is a different perspective. She’s a woman — so many of the passages are about her and her experiences.”
An excerpt from the journal was published in MonteCristo Magazine.
