Russell Walker wrote this history of Prince George in his 85th year. In 1910 he opened the first land office in what was then called Fort George. He was the publisher and editor of the first newspaper - the Fort George Herald and he wrote the first magazine article ever published about the city.
Bacon, Beans and Brave Hearts was published by his old friends the Murrays of Lillooet, believing that the great interior city of Prince George will be greater yet by recalling its brave beginnings. Filled with old photographs including an unusual and interesting fold out panoramic picture of the Fort George area taken by the author in May 1911.
Includes info on Fort George Canyon, Parsnip River, White's Landing Creek, Big Eddy, Ashcroft, cottonwood canoe, and Billy Thorne.
