| Summary | "The Naturalist in Vancouver Island and British Columbia, Volume 1" by John Keast Lord is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The book serves as Lord's contribution to natural history and provides a personal narrative based on his experiences as a naturalist with the British North American Boundary Commission. It discusses various aspects of the region’s natural history, particularly focusing on species and habitats, while also delving into Lord's observations of the local environment and indigenous peoples. The opening of the book introduces the reader to Lord’s journey to Vancouver Island, describing the various hardships faced during the voyage, including turbulent seas and curious encounters with fellow passengers. He establishes his intent to explore the natural world of Vancouver Island, hinting at a more informal and observational style than a structured scientific study. The narrative sets the stage for an exploration of the region's natural history, with the promise of engaging anecdotes and a lively depiction of Lord’s adventures among both humans and wildlife in this remote part of the world.
