C.] Hardcover A very nice copy without flaw. 6.5 X 9" 227 pages from 1991. "Mission," (so goes the saying} "has gone through more phases than the moon." Only when the gamblers, speculators and gold-diggers finally left did the town begin the steady, rational growth that eventually made it the central Fraser Valley's main trading centre and the berry-farming capital of western Canada. Mission remains the valley's most picturesque and hospitable community, and its story one of the valley's most fascinating histories.
