Description:On October 1, 1917, prohibition came into effect in the province of British Columbia. Washington and Oregon had gone dry the previous year.

From vicious marine hijackers and bedeviled police to corrupt politicians and frustrated drinkers on both sides of the border, this is an action-filled account of liquor and lawlessness on the West Coast.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
