Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legend of the Lost Lemon Mine is one of the most enduring unsolved mysteries of the Canadian West. In 1870, so the story goes, two prospectors named Lemon and Blackjack found gold in the rugged mountains of southwestern Alberta or southeastern British Columbia. Shortly after, Blackjack died at Lemon`s hand. The distraught Lemon left the scene of the murder and never recovered his senses--or his gold. Despite exhaustive searches by treasure seekers and historians, the mine has never been located. In The Lost Lemon Mine, Ron Stewart revisits this intriguing story and attempts to answer the tantalizing questions posed by the often conflicting evidence. Where was the mine . . . or did Lemon and Blackjack steal the gold and invent a fictitious mine to cover their tracks? Stewart has meticulously researched the many versions of the story in order to separate folklore from fact, challenging readers to reach their own conclusions.

Download or read book High River and the Times written by Paul Voisey and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2004-01-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1905, the High River Times served a community of small town advertisers and an extensive hinterland of ranchers and farmers in southern Alberta. Under the ownership of the Charles Clark family for over 60 years, the Times established itself as the epitome of the rural weekly press in Alberta. Even Joe Clark, the future prime minister, worked for the family business. While historians rely heavily on local newspapers to write about rural and small town life, Paul Voisey has studied the influence of the Times on shaping the community of High River.

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.

Book excerpt: When game warden Luke Dutton hears a gunshot while he’s out repairing fencing on his ranch in Alberta’s foothills, he has no idea that single shot is going to set into motion events that will turn his world upside down. The more he discovers, the less he knows about what’s going on in the Highwood River Valley, and the more he realizes things don’t add up. Between the revelation that there’s a serial killer living in their midst, the Dutton family’s discovery of the long-lost Lemon Gold Mine, and the damage that Black Eagle Gas will do to the Duttons’ ranch when they begin fracking, Luke has his hands full. Add water problems caused by climate change, drug-related problems on the local First Nations reserve, and dealing with numerous violations of hunting and fishing laws to the Duttons’ challenges in an everchanging world. As things come to a head and Luke works to keep the ranch solvent and his family safe, will the RCMP catch the killer before he kills again?
