12 Mile Remembered

the long version

**This story will, I'm sure, break your heart; it has mine.** The mass destruction and loss was/is unbelievable. Community life, livelihood, homesteads, family, friends, dreams, animals, land, lakes, streams, virgin forests & shrubbery, wild flowers, wild fruit, mushrooms, vegetable gardens ---. The horrific list goes on, in a book you will be thinking of, talking about, and sharing, for a very long time. **12 Mile Community ceased to exist,** in the 1960s, when **BC Hydro Electric** (founded in **1961**) **chose to flood the Columbia Valley, south of Revelstoke, BC, Canada** **amazon customer / January 12, 2012: JS in Redlands / 5 of 5 stars great topic** / Author is a friend of mine and wanted to be sure to get her book. Looking forward to reading it. Came quickly.
