Summary: The toils and triumphs of a pioneer fruit rancher and sternwheeler deckhand are chronicled in the 1915 and 1918 diaries of H. Colin Haddon. Haddon was 18 years old when he immigrated to Canada from England in 1911, seeking independence and a livelihood in fruit ranching. Haddon homesteaded in Gray Creek, on the East Shore of Kootenay Lake in British Columbia, Canada. He also wrote nature stories and articles for the magazine, "Rod and Gun in Canada", some of which are reprinted here.
