Download or read book Cariboo Gold Rush written by Art Downs and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1858, some 30,000 gold seekers stampeded to the Fraser River. Scores perished during the gruelling journey, but some made their fortune and many pressed on northwards to the creeks of the Cariboo. Originally compiled by Art Downs, founder of Heritage House, this is a vivid and detailed account of the first gold strikes, the miners who made them and the incredible efforts to establish transportation routes and build roads to the Cariboo goldfields. Here are the stories of the legendary Williams Creek diggings, which yielded a golden harvest of over $2.6 million in 1862, and creeks with names like Lightning, Jack of Clubs and Last Chance. Also included are excerpts from the journals of Lord Milton and Walter B. Cheadle, who became the first tourists to the Cariboo in 1863. Richly descriptive and touched with humour, their first-hand account is a fascinating window into Cariboo history.

She brings both a critical eye and a personal touch to this book, which reads as a memoir and as an account of important developments in Canadian writing and librarianship. In this time of cuts to budgets for books and for librarians, there is much here to reflect upon.
Download or read book The Cariboo Gold Rush Story written by Don Waite and published by Surrey, B.C. : Hancock House. This book was released on 1988 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These vivid stories describe the devastation of the Indians by the whiteman's disease, Billy Barker "the heart of the Cariboo", and John Cameron, who buried his wife four times. The rugged men and women of BC's own gold rush stride off the impossible trails and out of the incredible scenery of the late 1800's in this stirring account of the gold strikes, the gigantic gains, and the strike-outs. This book began in the fall of 1975 when I made my initial trip, alone and by car, to Barkerville to talk to the descendants of early miners and to photograph some of the original gold mining sites. In order to capture the same thrill of adventure experienced by gold seekers, I wanted to sleep out under the stars. As my arrival at Barkerville occurred after dark, I left the main highway and followed a dirt road in search of a place to bed down away from vehicular noises. A short time after dozing off, I was awakened by some loud banging of tin cans which sent me scurrying for the safety of my car. I turned on the headlights to discover that the noisemakers were a couple of black bears. I had camped in the hill overlooking the town dump. En route to the one time gold capital of the world, I stopped off at the museum at Clinton and departed from this treasure house with the understanding that I would pay the curator a longer visit on my way home. As it turned out, I found Barkerville so intriguing that I overstayed my alotted time, resulting in a non-stop drive homeward which had me passing through Clinton in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, other commitments took priority over the over the research and several years elapsed before I was able to carry on with the project which became this book. I then realized the value of the interviews from that 1975 trip.
Download or read book Gold Below the Canyon written by Branwen Christine Patenaude and published by Trafford. This book was released on 2005 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William (Billy) Barker is dying from terminal cancer of the jaw. Lying on his death bed he recalls his life, his family in March, Cambridgeshire, England, and his life as a canal man. Billy marries a widow with three children, who cheats on him. A daughter, Emma Eliza is born. The building of the railways fazes out the canal business, and Billy leaves home for New York. There he works on the building of railroads until the start of the California gold rush. Waiting for the chuck wagon to feed them Billy starts chewing tobacco. While seeking passage to San Francisco Billy meets John Butson, a young Cornish adventurer who becomes a lifelong friend. At San Francisco these two team up with Joseph Hernandes, a Mexican gold miner who has a donkey. The Mexican teaches them to pan for gold. They travel inland and eventually find gold. Billy takes a trip back to England, and finds that both his wife and his mother have died, and his only child, Emma, is living in a poor house. Billy returns to California and works for some time with John Butson in a hard rock gold mine near West Point, California. When the gold runs out Billy and John leave for Fraser's River in British Columbia. Eventually they reach Lillooet, where they stake claims with other miners on Canada Bar. Unfortunately political interference stops them from mining, and Billy's partners desert him. Billy travels to Williams Creek, in the Cariboo, where he stakes claims on the lower end of the creek. While other miners are finding lots of gold, Billy's claims are disappointing. Ned Stout, who has claims on a branch of Williams Creek, persuades Billy to stake below the canyon on Williams Creek. At that time, regulations were such that miners were not allowed to have more than one claim on a creek, so Billy had to give up his first claim. As it happened that claim, when it came in, proved to be the richest on the creek. Billy and his partners dug two shafts below the canyon, and almost ran out of money before fabulous amounts of gold were reached. Fortunately Billy was able to get a loan from Judge Begbie, which enabled him and his partners to reach pay dirt. Billy is a fabulously rich man, and while spending the winter in Victoria he meets and marries an English woman, Elizabeth Collyer. Sadly Eliza only lives for two years, and Billy returns to mining in several areas of the Cariboo, including the Horsefly valley. Billy loses his fortune in random lending, and unprofitable business dealings. He ends up in the Old Man's Home in Victoria, where he dies in 1894.
