Sisters of Grass (21 page)

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I am indebted to my family and friends for boundless encouragement and willingness to listen, advise and go on trips in search of a road, a plant, weather. The British Columbia Arts Council provided financial support for which I am grateful. Staff at the Provincial Archives, the Kamloops Museum and the Nicola Valley Museum and Archives were very helpful in answering queries as well as tracking down maps and information. I was also lucky to have Laurel Boone for an editor. Her enthusiasm and careful eye helped me to make this a better book.
