Trails to Gold - 8 1/2x5 1/2"
(14x21.5 cm) soft cover 171 pages Miners, murderers and missionaries,
hurdy-gurdy girls and high-court judges -- all sorts of people headed
for the goldfields of British Columbia, beginning in the 1850's, and they
all had to eat and sleep along the way. The innkeepers slept on the bar
to guard the gold and the liquor, but they were the heart of all social
life, and their stories skillfully told by Branwen C. Patenaude, full
of personal anecdotes and family tales, have the authentic feel of the
frontier. |
