Gold Creeks and Ghost Towns by N. L. Barlee
Gold creeks and ghost towns of the East Kootenay, Boundary, West Kootenay, Okanagan and Similkameen areas of British Columbia.
From the sagebrush, desert country of southern valleys of the Okanagan
and Similkameen across to the high grandeur of the East Kootenays, the
southern interior of BC remains an entrancing region. To some people it
is the ghost town country, and area where half a hundred towns stood in
another century, to others it is the land of gold creeks, for there was a
time when streams drew thousands of miners in their never ending quest
for Eldorado. Fortunately, some of this area remains relatively
unchanged and even today the wilderness is but a glance away and beyond
the travelled routes, the trail blazing country still beckons. For that
rather unique breed, those who feel at ease in places far off the beaten
path or deep in the back country where the echoes of history are still
audible and the atmosphere of half-forgotten eras lingers on, we hope
that this book will be enjoyable, for it is for those individuals that
is in intended.
