Details
by Mary Augusta Tappage Evans (Author), Jean E. Speare (Editor), Robert Keziere (Photographer)
Hailed as a contemporary classic of oral literature, The Days of Augusta is Shuswap elder Augusta Evans' memories of a lifetime that spanned from 1888 to 1978.
Accompanied by Robert Keziere's intimate photographs, Augusta's rhythmic prose reads like poetry. She depicts with strength and eloquence her own story--her days at the Mission School, making baskets and catching salmon, the pain of giving birth and the death of a son--as well as the legends and stories of events told to her--a stagecoach robbery, a woman who was the prisoner of a bear. First printed in 1973, Augusta's story continues to be a fascinating glimpse into the past, with throughlines to the present.
