  • Hi Nicole
    My name is Glen Hutton. My grandparents bought some land in Corbin in 1956 (when I was 4 years old). That land has stayed in our family ever since and my wife and I are building a new cabin on the same property.

    I am very interested in the history of Corbin and have compiled information, photographs, and newspaper accounts from a variety of sources – including your early versions of this comic which were on line. I am an author and recognize the importance of copyright.

    I would like to share my work with the local libraries / museums in the Elk Valley and Crowsnest Pass. I would like to include your comic or at least make reference to it so that others may enjoy it.

    I do not intend to sell or make any money off my research – I am doing it because of my connection to this area of British Columbia.

    I would like your permission to use some or part of your work in my compilation. I have included a link to what I have put together to this point in time. It is not complete and I have not included all of the references/citations/permissions as I am waiting for them to arrive. It is not edited so please excuse typos, spelling, and grammatical errors.

    Here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9w1yh8r6cj1o0tz/Corbin%20History%20Mining%20Jan%2013%202016.pdf?dl=0

    Thank you for your time.

    Glen Hutton
