He also took thousands of photographs and kept detailed journals of his travels. In his second book on Swannell's adventures, Jay Sherwood presents central BC through the eyes and words of one of BC's most famous surveyors. Swannell photographed First Peoples, settlers, various methods of transportation and the daily life of a surveying crew. Of about 1,500 photographs he took between 1920 and 1928, Jay Sherwood has selected the best for this book. Many have historical significance, showing the changes beginning to occur in this largely wilderness region of central BC. Surveying Central British Columbia is based primarily on Swannell's diaries and photographs. It is supplemented by interviews with descendants of some members of Swannell's surveying crew, research and the author's personal visits to several places where Swannell surveyed. It includes a database of Swannell's photographs online at the BC Archives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay Sherwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0772657424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780772657428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Royal British Columbia Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.37h x 10.54w x 0.65d","brand":"Jay Sherwood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987544310015,"sku":"9780772657428","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8785afc-8015-4628-895f-8b453452e567.jpg?v=1683289621","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/surveying-central-british-columbia-jay-sherwood-9780772657428","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
