Taking time from researching her book on the Kwakwaka'wakw pictographs in Kingcome Inlet, Judy Williams gathered Refuge Cove lore for Dynamite Stories (self-published, 2000), tales of explosive hijinks. The often humourous anecdotes were first collected on March 17, 1995 to mark Doris Hope's 50th year in Refuge Cove on West Redonda Island. A Desolation Sound story by logger Ken MacPherson called 'First Law of Dynamite: If two sticks are good, four are better' set the tone. This book was republished in 2003 by New Star Books.
