Description

In 1860, on the age of fourteen, Susan Louisa Moir left England for British Columbia. After settling to begin with at Hope, she lived in short in both Victoria and New Westminster, then BC’s two so much essential settlements. Returning to Hope, she helped her mother open the community’s first college. In 1868, she married John Fall Allison and, on her honeymoon, rode over the Allison Path into the unsettled Similkameen Valley.

Her record of the voyage, of Victoria, New Westminster, and Hope and her memories of the isolated but fulfilling life she, her husband, and their fourteen childeren led within the Simlkameen and Okanagen valleys supply a novel view of the pioneer mind and spirit.
