Sep 08, 2018 — GREENWOOD, BC (BG)

A very interesting book on early Greenwood has been made available online. Written by Reed Turcotte, one-time owner and publisher of the Boundary Creek Times, the book features 18 chapters of fascinating details on our history.

Following is a brief excerpt from the Prologue. The e-book can be found here.

"The mining camp called Greenwood and the town's voice of reasoning the Boundary Creek Times both came to life around the same time in 1896. Although both divorced between the years 1911 and 1983, (as the Times did not publish during that period), the story of Greenwood and that of its newspaper(s) are dramatically entwined.

What you are about to read is the history of Greenwood and area, as mostly told by the Boundary Creek Printing & Publishing Company through the pages of its newspaper, the Boundary Creek Times. As with any print media, the words put to paper and then published, generally reflect the thoughts of the town's people but also that of its editor whose views come with their own biases and whatever ghosts rests within said editor."
