New perspectives on the gold rush

Bridge, Kathryn Anne, 1955- (editor.). Royal British Columbia Museum, (issuing body.).

Summary: "In 1858, reports of gold found on the Fraser River spurred tens of thousands of people – mostly men – to rush into the territory we now call British Columbia. They came with visions of fortune in their eyes. The lucky ones struck it rich, but most left penniless or died trying for the motherlode. Some stayed behind and helped build the colony and the province of British Columbia. New Perspectives on the Gold Rush presents 10 insightful essays by historians, curators and heritage professionals that offer different views on familiar stories, introduce new ways of examining the gold-rush years and explore the legacies of the event and the gold seekers who stayed on. The result is a different kind of history book, one that challenges your views on this pivotal time in Canada’s history."--Publisher's website.
