About This Item
Madeira Park, BC: Harbour Publishing, 2007. Soft cover. 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 judge; 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.
