PAGE & Book review Nadine Aasante’s History of Terrace is a remarkable book. Its warm, fact-filled, light and easy lo read but at the same time manages to capture the spirit of the age in which Terrace grew up. Two years of work went into this thick volume and it shows in the final product. Nadine has managed to gather together the lives and the people who created Terrace oul of stubborn wilderness. Her style Her style is different, perhaps unique for a history, certainly it is unlike any I have read before. At first glance there seems to be no chronological order, But, even without this, the book presents a complete picture of what happened hére. All the littke bits of information have been set down in a style that is highly readable. There was talk before the release of the book that some of the people mentioned in the bouk would be offended by the way their picture was painted with Nadine’s probing words. Not so. I found none of the families slurred or anything that would not sil well with early setllers and their descendants, The book traces the history of this narrow valley of the Skeena. The authoress touches briefly on the very hearly history of the sailing ships Teaching the west coast of Canada and then she’s in to the recent past, the last hundred years. The development of Eby Landing, Terrace on its present sight, the story of Kitsealas, the ex- ploration and settling of the Kalum River Valley, all is. gone into with names and dates aplenty. One section that is par- ticularly fascinaling is the list of Terrace street names ard where they came from, as well as a list of pioneers and their stories; pioneers that should be recognized and honored, ac- cording to Nadine. Al times the book drags, but only briefly, say for a sentence or two, then your back into the thick of things. There are times when Nadine traces the ownership of various plots of land lhrough several decades and for the oldtimers this may prove inleresting and nostalgic but for the new comer, it becomes a listing of names. These sections and passages are very short. The only thing I found distracting anout the volume was no fault of (he author’s, In the building . of . order to mention all that hap- pened and all that made Terrace what it is Nadine had to keep her manuscript brief and terse. Because pf this par- licularly interesting parts of a pioneers long trek or something of that sort, had » be kept to {wo or three lines. ./hat Nadine has done I feel, is pave the way | for future books on Terrace. She's laid the groundwork, the foundalion, and now is the time for someone to start adding. The book is unique for a smaller community. Here we ‘have a book commissioned by a local group, wrilten by a local writer and printed in a local print shop, The book has a lop rate quality, both in writing and in production. The book is something to everyone. For the old timers, a nostalgic look back, for us new comers to the area, a surprise, who'd have thought there was that much history in this valley? The History of Terrace is highly recommended reading and would make a great Christmas gift. Its a history not tied down with facls but with facts brought to life, It is by na means a cul and dried school ‘textbook’ history, Nadine is a marvelous slory-teller, even when the stories are true Key 73 in Terrace - Have you heard about Key 73?
