About the book
For the first time, a book about the history of Colwood has been written. From First Nations heritage to the City's incorporation, the story of Colwood is told in detail, bringing to life the stories of the early settlers whose names are so familiar in street names, schools and locales.
Learn how Colwood got its name, how Captain Langford earned the wrath of the powerful Hudson's Bay company, how James Dunsmuir built Hatley Castle, where the battle of Colwood was fought, what well known resident was lost with the sinking of RMS Lusitania, why Fort Rodd Hill was built, how we almost sank our own submarines, the story behind Havenwood, why Colwood was 'the' destination for partying Victorians and hundreds of other intriguing facts about the City of Colwood.
The book also includes a special section of memorial tributes to some of Colwood's most treasured community members.
The book is written by William Silvester, the co-author of History of the Colwood Pioneer Cemetery, History of St. John the Baptist Church and hundreds of historical articles.
