Re-Settlement and Cultivation of Land in British Columbia

I came across this booklet, and have transcribed it, added links, photos, and what little information I could find about the author (next to nothing )
Re-settlement and cultivation of land in British Columbia, (PDF)  1915, the author was William Sinclair (Scotland,1840 - 1917, Coquitlam, B.C.) who lived somewhere between Como Lake and Mundy Park, he gained a Crown Grant in 1902, and lived the rest of his life there.  The booklet may possibly be the first published book by a Coquitlam resident, not sure, certainly early.

Also the same revised copy but at the Internet Archive:
