For a little week-end change of pace, I offer you an historical artifact recently established and placed on-line for all to peruse.
That would be the archives of the British Colonist, forerunner to our local newspaper, Victoria’s Times-Colonist.
The British Colonist was founded in 1858 by a man formerly known as William Smith, but better known as Amor de Cosmos. That’s right … ‘lover of the universe’. British Columbia has always been a place for eccentrics.
