Further reading/cites

I"m going through Howay & Scholefield's book for passages on Fort Rupert trying to find mention of the destruction of the fort by fire in 1888.....there's a lot of passages about the Fort in that book here is a search page for "Fort Rupert" from within that book, which is on www.nosracines.ca.Skookum1 (talk) 03:47, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

that's a link for a search of Vol. 1, this is a similar search on Vol 2 which will have the 1888 events in it.Skookum1 (talk) 03:50, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I find the tone of a lot of this article to be overtly racist. I'm just guessing because the sources quoted are white historians. Please be careful with any POV issues quoting old white people. Thanks Billyshiverstick (talk) 15:55, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and to add on, Frederick Howay is known for having been quite racist. A recent article in the journal BC Studies called Howay a white supremacist. His anti-Chinese racism has become infamous, at least among BC historians. As a source I think he is fine for certain topics--but yea, anyone using him as a source ought to be careful. And for most topics there are almost certainly better, less blatantly racist and colonial-paternalistic biased sources. If I get a chance and remember, I'll try to look at this page and see what can be done to improve things. Pfly (talk) 05:51, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
