This book was written to give what the author viewed as an accurate description of the two colonies (which would later join to become British Columbia) in opposition to what was being written about the place in the British press of the day. The author gives his opinion that British Columbia is primarily of value due to its gold deposits and holds little promise for agriculture. Chapter V deals with the Aboriginal population of British Columbia and expresses sentiments such as "The Indians must disappear before the March of Civilization."
