In British Columbia by the Road, Ben Bradley takes readers on an
unprecedented journey through the history of roads, highways, and
motoring in British Columbia’s Interior, a remote landscape
composed of plateaus and interlocking valleys, soaring mountains
and treacherous passes. Challenging the idea that the automobile
offered travellers the freedom of the road and a view of
unadulterated nature, Bradley shows that boosters, businessmen,
conservationists, and public servants manipulated what drivers and
passengers could and should view from the comfort of their
vehicles. Although cars and roads promised freedom, they offered
drivers a curated view of the landscape that shaped the
province’s image in the eyes of residents and visitors alike.
