Emily Patterson

"A biography of Emily Patterson and her life from the time when she emigrated with her family from Bath, Maine, USA, in the 1860s first to the Alberni Canal on Vancouver Island, then to the Willamette Valley and finally to Hastings Mill and Moodyville (now in Metro Vancouver). Much good material about Emily's life as a self-taught nurse, and good information about the native peoples on the Alberni Canal, as well as the life in sawmill towns. Also good information about early Vancouver."--
