Birchwater is a master of popular history ... [he] has my gratitude for taking good care of so many stories over the years. -- Lorraine Weir, The Ormsby Review No one is more familiar with the social history of wild Chilcotin than Sage Birchwater. Combining facts and the story teller's art, Chilcotin Chronicles promises to find itself alongside Chiwid (New Star Books) as another regional classic. -- Van Andruss, publisher of Lived Experience Literary Journal Sage Birchwater deserves a medal, maybe the Order of Canada.

With an eye toward both the indigenous and the Euro-Canadian cultures, Sage Birchwater brings us stories of lived experience that span one hundred and fifty years and connect past with present, telling the sorry tale, through the voices of those who were there, of the colonization of one of the last places on Earth to suffer this harsh interface. -- Judith Plant, author of the forthcoming Culture Gap: Towards a New World in the Yalakom Valley (New Star Books)
