Sobre este item
Contains a chapter on early smugglers who were enriched by importing both opium and Chinese nationals across the porous border from Canada. (Canada not only imposed no duty on opium, but permitted Vancouver and Victoria opium factories to produce high volumes of the narcotic.)
The author was a third-generation islander who was raised on San Juan Island and moved to Orcas Island to raise his family. Dust jacket is now protected in a removable clear, archival sleeve.
