Errata for Desiree Valadares, “Uneven Mobilities: Infrastructural Imaginaries on the Hope–Princeton Highway,” Radical History Review 147 (2023): 158–85. https://doi.org/10.1215/01636545-10637232Desiree Valadares did not acknowledge her use of Ben Bradley’s book British Columbia by the Road: Car Culture and the Making of a Modern Landscape (Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 2017). She sincerely regrets this error and makes the following corrections to her article:p. 162 The sentence following the subheading Staging the Scenic should read: “Ben Bradley’s history of the Hope–Princeton Highway reveals that when it first opened to the public in 1949, it was considered “neither intrinsically scenic nor particularly interesting.” Endnote: Bradley, British Columbia by the Road, 39.p. 162 An endnote should follow the sentence, “To make this route more interesting to motorists, pullouts and overlooks were carved into the mountains.” Endnote: Bradley, British Columbia by the Road, 39, 76–85.p. 162 The sentence, “These two provincial agencies worked together to manage landscape experiences for motoring tourists along BC highways.” should read: “As shown by Bradley, these two provincial agencies worked together to manage landscape experiences for motoring tourists along BC highways.”p. 162 An endnote should follow the sentence, “The agencies collectively proposed the creation of E. C. Manning Park, a provincial park along the Hope–Princeton route, as a backdrop that would provide both scenic vistas and recreational opportunities.” Endnote: Bradley, British Columbia by the Road, 19–64; and Bradley, “Behind the Scenery.”p. 163 In the sentence that begins, “This 1950s brochure, published by the Daily Province . . . ,” the date should be 1966, not the 1950s.p. 164 The caption for Figure 3 should read: “History on the Highways, published by BCGTB in 1966 and was created by artist Lewis Saw.” The caption should have the following note: This image was reproduced from Ben Bradley’s Flickr album and appears as an illustration in his book, British Columbia by the Road, 208. An original copy of History on the Highways is available at the Royal British Columbia Museum Archives.p. 165 The caption for Figure 4 should read: “Print ads from the late 1940s by BCGTB touting ‘Old mysteries in a new world,’ ‘Visit Alluring British Columbia Canada,’ and ‘British Columbia, Canada: The Vacation-Land That Has Everything.’ Author’s private collection.”p. 165 The first line of the third paragraph should read: “As Bradley argues, ‘Motoring was a radically new way’ of exploring the interior of the province of BC, and driving made motorists feel like ‘active explorers’ of the vast landscapes that surrounded them, rather than ‘passive consumers.’” Endnote: Bradley, British Columbia by the Road, 3.p. 165 An endnote should follow the sentence, “The promotion of automobile tourism in BC should be located within the larger Keynesian expansion and industrial production of roads and automobiles that occurred in the postwar period in Canada.” Endnote: Dawson, Selling British Columbia; Bradley, British Columbia by the Road.p. 166 An endnote should follow the sentence, “The creation and expansion of provincial parks and public history campaigns, such as the Stop of Interest signs program, were intimately tied to highway beautification efforts and tourism promotion along provincial roads. ” Endnote: Bradley offers the first comprehensive scholarly history of the BC Stop of Interest signs, which were introduced in 1958 as a British Columbia Centennial Project. Also see earlier work by Michael Kluckner, Vanishing British Columbia, on “roadside memory,” and BC Stop of Interest signs for the Ghost of Walhachin.p. 168 The sentence, “The Canadian government also looked to road and railway camps for the Doukhobor people (pacifist populations of Ukrainian descent from the Austro-Hungarian empire), who were interned during World War I and whose forced labor helped to build the infrastructure around Banff National Park in Alberta.” should read: “The Canadian government previously interned people of Ukrainian descent from the Austro-Hungarian empire during World War I under the War Measures Act. While interned at Castle Mountain Internment Camp, their forced labor helped to build the road infrastructure around Banff National Park in Alberta.”pp. 181–85 The following references should be added to the reference list:Bradley, Ben. “Behind the Scenery: Manning Park and the Aesthetics of Automobile Accessibility in 1950s British Columbia.” BC Studies, no. 170 (2011): 41–65.Kluckner, Michael.
