Halliday Brothers

HALLIDAY brothers, William and Ernest, took up land in the estuary of the Kingcome R at the head of KINGCOME INLET in 1895 and established one of BC's most isolated cattle ranches. William became Indian agent for the Central Coast region and played a controversial role in implementing the federal government's ban on the POTLATCH.
