Author-Joe Garner

Joe Garner’s energetic, entertaining autobiography and family memoir spans modern British Columbia’s history. It starts with the arrival in 1903 of his parents, Oland and Lona, who had escaped persecution by the Ku Klux Klan in South Carolina. Their arrival heralded the bright beginnings of a life that would be filled with entrepreneurial adventure, excitement, and involvement in several of the west coast’s rapidly developing industries.

Never Fly Over an Eagle’s Nest recounts Oland’s first employment with Emily Carr’s father. Ten years later he helps Emily build her house in Victoria and Joe recalls a hilarious childhood night spent sleeping between the artist’s two shaggy sheepdogs. Joe also recollects encounters with a cougar, journeys by floatplane to the remote reaches of the Queen Charlotte Islands and the lakes of the Chilcotin, and a poker game in which the stakes included logging camps and aircraft.
