    Arthur E. O'Meara, Friend of the Indians
    (University of Washington Press, 1967) Patterson II, E Palmer
    THE COMPLETION of the transcontinental railroad to Vancouver in 1886 brought new waves of settlers to the west coast of Canada.

For, unlike other parts of Canada, much of the land in British Columbia had passed out of Indian hands without legal alienation.
