BOOK REPORT by Andy Motherwell
CARIBOO GOLD STRIKE

by Ken MacGowan. Self published 2000.

This book is a real asset to anyone interested in finding and
viewing many of the old workings from the earliest period to
the present.
KEN macGowan, has gold in his blood as he is from a third
generation mining family in the Cariboo. His hand drawn
maps, mine layouts, road locations and written text make
locating the old sites very easy.
Ken gives good descriptions of the geology, and the various
methods used in each of the locations he writes about. Of
further interest he lists who the people were, when they were
in the area and how much gold was recovered. Each map has
a great deal of information as page 13 illustrates, giving
mining names such as W.Patenaude(1994); L.Hess;
T.Corless; and L.Frank in Quesnel canyon in 1970--99; Hoy
Bar, south of the plywood plant run by D.Sargent 1990; the
Tertiary mine run by Len Knudson in 1950--1980; and the
British Bar south of Richbar, mined in 1860.
The book is divided into sections for each creek, river and
area. We have re-discovered many of the old sites with the
help of this work and Bill Hong"s.
Bill Hong"s book has been re-published and is at several
stores. (Ed. such as Barkerville Hotel, I believe.)
Ken MacGowan hand printed each page, copied them, and
then stapled them together and added duct tape on the spine.
Copies are hard to find but the Quesnel Library has one. Ken
is working on a later edition but the publication date is
unknown according to Maureen at Caryall.
A unique Cariboo effort.
