Book
On the edge of empire : gender, race, and the making of British Columbia, 1849-1871 / Adele Perry.
"Between 1849 and 1871 British Columbia's gender and racial character challenged normative standards of nineteenth-century, Anglo-American social life. First Nations people outnumbered whites dramatically, and within the small white community, males outnumbered females even more sharply. White male homosocial culture and mixed-race heterosexual relationships were common and persistent reminders that British Columbia fell short of Victorian standards." -- Introduction.
