Already a seasoned traveller: before her fifth birthday she had made the long sea voyage from Ceylon, to England.She helped her mother open a school in Hope and in 1868 she married John Fall Allison, riding on her honeymoon over the Allison Trail into the unsettled Similkameen Valley, her record of life provides a unique view of the pioneer mind and spirit.
