Nelson, BC
Nelson is a small town in the Kootenay Mountains of southeastern British Columbia, on the west arm of Kootenay Lake, 40 miles southeast of Kaslo, BC. Amanda Asay died here.
The town was supposed to field a team in the Kootenay and Washington League in 1897, at the time Nelson was a boomtown due to silver mining, but the plan never came to pass, dooming the circuit to an early demise.
