First published in 1969, \u003ci\u003eBarkerville Days\u003c\/i\u003e is the nearest thing we have to a definitive history of one of the world's most colourful gold rushes.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It has taken more than a hundred years for the first truly extensive and carefully researched story of Barkerville and its Cariboo goldfields to be placed between covers of a comprehensive volume. This book, rich in fact and anecdotal history, is the work of a do-it-yourself miner-historian, a mining man who talked the language of the last of the originals and their first descendants. A dedicated gatherer of the authoritative story of the Cariboo, centering on Barkerville, Fred Ludditt has done for that area what another Mitchell Press author, the late Walter R. Hamilton, did for the Klondike in his book \u003ci\u003eThe Yukon Story\u003c\/i\u003e. Here is the priceless product of interviews which can never be done again. It is the story of how Billy Barker's claim suddenly sprouted the lusty town of Barkerville far inland from the sea in the upper headwaters of British Columbia's famed Fraser River. Barkerville Camp, which in its heyday was the most populous place on the continent west of Toronto and north of San Francisco, will live on in these pages for posterity to know.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Caitlin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773860954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.63d","brand":"Fred W.
