Whoever Gives Us Bread : The Story of Italians in British Columbia Product Form:Hardback and of the powerful urgeDescription Whoever Gives us Bread is a lively people's history from the 1860s to the 1960s, as told by an award winning historian. In the early 1860s, Italians began trickling into British Columbia via San Francisco. Fleeing grinding poverty back home, they came north to the isolated valleys and cities of the province to pan for gold, raise cattle, dig coal, fell timber, build railroads, smelt copper and refine lead, or to start small businesses.
