Black Diamond City: Nanaimo — The Victorian Era by Jan Peterson

Signed by author


Black Diamond City: The Victorian Era is the first book in Jan

Peterson's trilogy on the history of Nanaimo. Peterson traces the

evolution of the city from its First Nations history to its coal

industry to its becoming a diversified Victorian-era community.




Using original diaries, journals, letters, ships' logs, government

records, maps, archival photographs and her own drawings, Peterson

vividly brings to life both the historical events that shaped Nanaimo

and its people.
