Golden Nuggets - Roadhouse Portraits Along the Cariboo's Gold-Rush Trail (Paperback, New)

Through her extensive research while compiling her first two books Trails to Gold and Trails to Gold, Volume Two, Branwen Patenaude has become the BC authority on the early roadhouses along the gold rush trail. Now, in this tribute to early photographers of that era and the magnificent derelict structures that have come to dot the Cariboo landscape, Branwen presents an album of her favourite roadhouse portraits and the stories that go with them. Golden Nuggets is presented as a companion volume in the same glossy format as Art Downs' Wagon Road North. This book completes the author's roadhouse trilogy. In addition to an informative text, Branwen has assembled a unique collection of historic photos by researching local and regional collections and gaining access to private collections throughout the Cariboo.
