North for Gold
Author: Ruth Weber Russell
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780921075011
Category : Gold mines and mining
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Canada's last great gold rush was to Red Lake Ontario in 1926. More than 5,000 men and women went by train, foot, sled-dog, horse-back and 'snow-machine' hundreds of miles north-east of Konora, through snow and marsh, over water and rock. They developed a gold field more productive than the Klondike and settled a northern outpost which still thrives. Ruth Russell's stirring history of the triumphs, hardships and conflicts of these people begins with a sketch of the fur-trade years and of the 'quiet years' before 1925. Her book will fascinate high school student and adult. Ruth is a journalist, editor and free-lance author who grew up in Red Lake and now coordinates the Kitchener-Waterloo Regional Arts Council. Her first book was a co-authored bibliography of Lucy Maude Montgomery. "Local author and Red Lake native Ruth Russell has written a social history ... with information gleaned from old newspapers, local histories, archives and private citizens. ... An adventure of the common man. ... The cast of this drama are mostly anonymous men and women seeking one of Canada's last great adventures for a chance to get rich quick."--Marg Zavros, The Waterloo Chronicle.

Roaring Camp
Author: Susan Lee Johnson
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 9780393320992
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
Historical insight is the alchemy that transforms the familiar story of the Gold Rush into something sparkling and new. The world of the Gold Rush that comes down to us through fiction and film--of unshaven men named Stumpy and Kentuck raising hell and panning for gold--is one of half-truths. In this brilliant work of social history, Susan Johnson enters the well-worked diggings of Gold Rush history and strikes a rich lode. She finds a dynamic social world in which the conventions of identity--ethnic, national, and sexual--were reshaped in surprising ways. She gives us the all-male households of the diggings, the mines where the men worked, and the fandango houses where they played. With a keen eye for character and story, Johnson restores the particular social world that issued in the Gold Rush myths we still cherish.
