Product Description

"My grandfather brought his wife and nine children to Cortez Island in 1917 with the dream of founding his own orchard, flower garden, and nursery." And so started a family legacy that would draw the author back to BC's coastal islands for the rest of her life. In 1930, June's parents bought the Loumar, a 36-foot wooden boat destined to become the family summer home for two decades. Now in her memoir of photographs, June relives the magic of those summer days on the Loumar. She provides historical background and highlights points of interest for travellers visiting the island today.

Customer Reviews

Blind Creek revisited
This is an excellent book, well written and well researched. My family is very familiar with Blind Creek, the original name of Cortes Bay on Cortes (originally spelled Cortez) Island. I believe that June Cameron got all of the sometimes complicatd historical place names and interlocking homestead family relationships correct. This is a wonderful read, almost impossible to put down until the last page is completed.

An Overall Good Book
This book was a very good one. It was about a little girl named June Cameron growing up along the B.C. coast. Her discriptions of the area are extremely well written, considering i am her grandaughter and visit the area she grew up in every year. This might not be a good chapter book for younger children, because it is a little hard to read. However, the book is filled with interesting facts and bits of humor.
