Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lytton Wilmot Shatford was a British Columbia politician and businessman. Born in Hubbards, Nova Scotia, he moved west during one of the British Columbia gold rushes where he and his brother, Walter Tyrrel Shatford, ran a general store in the gold mining town of Fairview near what is now Oliver. They also owned the Shatford Mercantile Store in Hedley which was one of the town's first permanent structures. In 1905, the brothers established the Southern Okanagan Land Company. They proceeded to purchase and subdivide land north of the Canada/US border and installed in irrigation system in the area of Vaseux Lake. In 1918, they sold 22,000 acres to the government of British Columbia for $300,000 in order to settle demobilized Canadian soldiers following World War I.
