BLACK SHEEP Born in 1853 Alexander Dunsmuir was the second son of coal baron Robert Dunsmuir, a Scottish immigrant who would rise to build one of British Columbia's greatest fortunes.
Dismissed as a tragic figure consumed by alcohol, Alexander's place in history has been eclipsed by the fame and fortune of his family. But behind this obscurity lays a far more complex man - whose life and choices would ignite one of Canada's most bitter inheritance battles.
