About This Item
From the dj. flap: "Here is the first major pictorial history of the Queen City. This splendid volume, tracing Regina's earliest days to the present, has been long awaited by history-hungry Reginans. It is Dr. Riddell's beautiful tribute to a fascinating city. In 1882, when the Canadian Pacific Railway announced its impending arrival, the ignoble-sounding Pile O'Bones was formally renamed Regina in honor of Queen Victoria." iNSCRIBED and SIGNED on the half-title by the Author. 10 pages of colour plates and dozens of b/w photos.
