<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>This first volume of Brown Bag History features 12 stories based on the
talks and focuses on the early history of Revelstoke, from the original First
Nations inhabitants, to the development of the community. Discover how the town
started out as Farwell, and how a land conflict shifted the downtown area from <st1:Street
w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Front Street</st1:address></st1:Street> up to <st1:Street
w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Mackenzie Avenue</st1:address></st1:Street>.
Find out why Revelstoke is named after a British Lord who never set foot here.
Enjoy the antics of the two police forces as they arrested each other. Learn
about the short-lived smelter that ended up in the <st1:place w:st="on">Columbia
River</st1:place> due to erosion. Explore the colourful history of Revelstoke
through the pages of this book. Also featured in the book are four cartoons by
Revelstoke’s popular cartoonist, Rob Buchanan. Two of them were created
exclusively for this volume.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
