Smith discusses various details of her published book, Hastings Mill: The Historic Times of a Vancouver Community, delving deep into colourful stories of the mill, its eclectic cast of characters, and how an unlikely group of women, the Native Daughters of British Columbia Post 1, managed to save an iconic remnant of Vancouver heritage from demolition.
