Two friends with a passion for the Kootenay region have helped uncover some of the history of the area, giving it new life.
Eric Brighton and Greg Nesteroff run a Facebook page called Lost Kootenays, which represents the diverse history of the east and west Kootenays.
The success of the page has now spawned a book.
At the start of this year, we got a message from a publisher in Nova Scotia, MacIntyre Purcell, who asked if we were interested in turning it into a book. I guess one of the ways to come up with ideas for books is to search for Facebook sites, particularly historical ones with a lot of followers" said Nesteroff.
