This new collection of original writing and historic photographs covers a surprisingly broad range of topics.

In Kamloops History: Fictions, Facts, and Fragments local historian Wayne Norton presents some fresh perspectives, takes a second look at a few familiar themes, and offers impressions of Kamloops as once it was—not so very long ago. Fictions, facts and fragments—there is plenty here to interest anyone curious about the history of Kamloops.

This new book contains:

  • Assessments of politicians Nelson Riis and Phil Gaglardi, photographer Mary Spencer and her alleged relationship with the notorious Bill Miner, local children's May Day celebrations, and the ever controversial Tranquille site.
  • An extensive guide to further reading.
  • 120 pages, 16 pages of colour photographs, 58 black and white photographs, bibliographical information.
