RUM RUNNING ON THE WEST COAST
Presentation by Rick James
Join maritime historian Rick James to find out what really went down along the West Coast during prohibition. Contrary to popular perception, rum-running along the Pacific was usually carried out in a relatively civilized manner, with an oh-so-Canadian politeness on the British Columbian side. But there were indeed shootouts, hijackings and even a particularly gruesome murder associated with the business.
Rick will have some of his books for sale at $35 each (incl. taxes).
If you do buy one (or more) please pay with cash or cheque.
