  • a third 1983 manuscript tentatively titled "From Trail to Rail: [Out of the Heart of British Columbia]" that was never published.
    Draft manuscripts for all three of these publications are included in this series, in both digital and print format. The series also includes research materials for Audrey L'Heureux's first book "Northern B.C. in Retrospect" which was published in 1979.
