Tall, grave and dignified Bishop George Hills, the first Bishop of British Columbia, was once described as 'the very model of an Anglican prelate.' He was also a literate man who became one of the first authors of B.C., publishing an account of his travels in his new diocese in 1861. Hills compiled statistics on Aboriginals of British Columbia, their gender and languages, and examined 100 catechists at William Duncan's mission at Metlakahtla. Having travelled around the province in the spring and summer of 1860, he published his 74-page account in England. Hills served in Victoria, from 1859 until his retirement in 1892, primarily at Christ Church Cathedral. No Better Land, The 1860 Diaries of the Anglican Colonial Bishop George Hills - George Hills.
