Barkerville was a historic flash in the pan, but that flash came from gold in the pans of thousands who sought fortune in BC's Cariboo gold rush more than 100 years ago. Like many instant towns created by man's greed for money, Barkerville was left vacant as the wave of miners subsided. Today, the town flourishes once more, this time under the care of historians and nearby residents who are finding a wealth of history in the old town. Author Richard Wright has unearthed much of that history in this book which chronicles the time, the fortunes and the follies of gold rush Barkerville. In this guide, Wright brings to life the people who descended on the Cariboo in search of gold and left their mark on BC history.
