Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. Third Printing. Trade PB; B&W Illustrations; 9.9 X 8.4 X 0.6 inches; 250 pages; In 1858, over eight decades had passed since Captain James Cook claimed the shores of what would become British Columbia for the British crown, but European settlers had shown little interest in the new lands. The non…-aboriginal population was only about 700. Then gold was discovered on the shores of the Fraser River and, overnight, the lonely outpost of empire was overrun by some 30,000 fevered gold-seekers. The raucous sourdough hordes were mostly American and treated the new territory as an extension of the United States. The fragile colonial administration in Victoria was overwhelmed and the territory's future as a British possession hung in the balance. But by the time the gold rush wound down a decade later, the colony of British Columbia had come into being and BC's destiny as a part of Canada was sealed.In The Trail of 1858, BC Almanac host Mark Forsythe and coauthor Greg Dickson augment their historical research with contributions from CBC listeners that give the gold rush story a personal, folksy feel. Making liberal use of historic photos, the authors celebrate memorable personalities from this epic time: the stern but sensible Judge Matthew Begbie; the peacemaking Chief Spintlum; Nam Sing, the first Chinese miner in the Cariboo; overlander Catherine Schubert; high-rolling miners Billy Barker and Cariboo Cameron; and a host of others.The Trail of 1858 is a combination of fact and memory of the colourful characters who helped form this province; it is a book from which history truly jumps.

Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. A near-fine volume.; B&W Photographs; 10.0 X 8.5 X 2.6 inches; 264 pages; "Forsythe, host of CBC Radio's mid-day show BC Almanac, marks the 100th anniversary of World War I by teaming with historian Greg Dickson and the ever resourceful BC Almanac audience to compile a sweeping por…trayal of that crucial chapter of BC history. Of the 611,000 Canadians who fought for King and Country, 55,570 were from British Columbia--the highest per capita rate of enlistment in the country. Of that contingent, 6,225 died in battle, a critical loss to a fledgling province of barely 400,000. Compiling stories, artifacts and photos sent in by BC Almanac listeners from across the province, this volume tells of submarine smuggling, bagpipes lost on the battlefield and of the ongoing struggles by soldiers who made it home. It tells of battles that set records for mass death amid conditions of unequalled squalor, but also of the heroism of front-line nurses and soldiers like George Maclean, a First Nations man from the Okanagan, who won the Distinguished Conduct Medal. By turns devastating, harrowing, insightful and miraculous, these stories reveal much about the spirit and resilience of a people who survived one of history's greatest disasters to build the province we have today.".

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to corners; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; This is the story of the gold rush. It is the story of James Douglas, a mixed-race colonial governor determined to keep BC out of American hands; Matthew Baillie Begbie, a no-nonsense travelling judg…e; Chief Spintlum, a legendary peacemaker of the Nlaka'pamux (Thompson); Nam Sing, the first Chinese miner in the Cariboo, and Amor de Cosmos, a feisty politician who set off the first of many BC political fireworks. It is also the story of the Royal Engineers, black Americans who fled slavery, European fishermen who jumped ship and stayed on, unnamed women who made homes and raised children in the new colony, and First Nations whose ancestors had lived in the region for thousands of years and who first resisted the invasion, then reluctantly accepted.
