The town was small, as it would be anywhere else in Canada. But it was very charming, of a patriarchal character, as many old Canadian towns were. "Old", in fact, was relative. As other towns in this area, Revelstoke was not more than 120-130 years old. Certainly, other people lived there before, Indian tribes, for example, but it was another History.
