This reissue of an out-of-print treasure is one of the best histories we have of a West Coast community. Port Simpson, British Columbia, is located just south of the Nass River, an area largely inhabited by the Nisga'a people. In the 1920s, Meilleur attended a one-room school on the Native reserve, where her father ran the general store. A Pour of Rain combines vivid personal memoir with a carefully reconstructed history of the fort of Port Simpson in the mid-19th century. The engaging events of Meilleur's childhood are presented alongside the lively history of the fort, including tribal attacks, the appearance of gold-seekers, missionaries and even royalty.
