Book excerpt: "Lost in Barkerville is a young reader novel in which two students and their teacher, Miss Reid, are on a school field trip to Yale. Once there in Yale, they travel back in time to Fort Yale in 1866. They then travel up the Cariboo Wagon Road to Barkerville, find work there and live for a time. Then their friend is caught up in a murder trial. At first it is thought that Judge Begbie will sentence him to hang, but one of the boys intervenes and the sentence is changed to life in prison. The second boy then arranges for their friend's brother to come to Barkerville and present new evidence to Judge Begbie and their friend is released. The trio finally return "in time" to Fort Yale and meet up once again with the members of their field trip. The author, Bitten Acherman, has done much research into the gold rush period, and she introduces a great deal of factual information into the novel about the Cariboo gold rush, Fort Yale, the Cariboo Wagon Road and Barkerville, with accounts of many of the larger-than life characters of the time, such as Billy Barker and Judge Begbie, but also many of the lesser-known people of the time."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When gold was discovered on the Fraser River, the rush was on. By early spring of 1858 the need for shelter, food, rest stops and stores became very apparent, as miners and would-be-miners made their way up into the hinterland. From Yale to Barkerville, roadhouses sprung up along the Cariboo's gold-rush trail. From their crude beginning, the roadhouses soon grew to be more than just stopovers. The roadhouses are gone, but the communities, villages, towns and cities remain. Golden Nuggets, with pictures and written text, brings the roadhouses back to life and gives us a glimpse of yesterday.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A newly revised and updated edition of the classic pictorial account of the Cariboo Gold Rush trail. First published in 1960, Wagon Road North is the quintessential popular history book chronicling gold-rush-era BC. Focusing on the Cariboo Wagon Road—the crucial transportation route stretching from Fort Yale to Barkerville that made it possible for tens of thousands of prospectors to make their way to the Cariboo goldfields in the 1860s—this newly updated, expanded, and re-designed edition brings to life the adventures, hardships, and blind ambitions of the men and women who risked everything in the quest for gold. Packed with more than one hundred archival photos, many of them rarely seen, as well as maps and contemporary images of historical sites, this fascinating book is a visual celebration of a pivotal chapter in early BC history.
