A (true) story in our own back yard of a man and a map and some lies and some land. And also proof that if you hang onto old maps you can make good $.

The CPR tried to put a rail line and telegraph poles through Greer’s claim, but he tore up the rail ties and cut down the poles. The railway retaliated by tearing his house down when he was away, twice.
Hilarity ensues at The Vancouver Sun.
