Lost Bonanzas of Western Canada by Garnet Basque
The thirteen stories in this volume revisit some of the most famous
unsolved cases of missing treasure from British Columbia, Alberta, and
the Northwest Territories. These popular legends tell harrowing tales—of
missing loot from a Cariboo stagecoach robbery, gold bullion lost in a
blizzard at the summit of Chilkoot Pass, and a terrifying murder at the
Lost Lemon Mine, where a mysterious curse guards the secret of Alberta’s
greatest lost treasure.
But did the events in these legends really take place? Here is where
historian Garnet Basque brings new information to light, weighing the
evidence in each case to sort out fact from fiction. The results are
sure to surprise and inspire new generations of treasure seekers in
their search for “lost bonanzas.”
Garnet Basque (1945-1994) operated Canadian West magazine from 1985 to
1994, as well as Sunfire Publications in Langley, BC. He published
numerous titles about lost treasures and frontier settlements, under
various imprints.
