River of gold

Gun-toting Californians, drunken miners, hostile natives as well as characters from British Columbia's history - James Douglas, Judge Begbie, Ovid Allard and Cataline - stride through the novel. River of Gold takes the reader on a journey through B.C.'s tumultuous history as the Hudson's Bay rule over New Caledonia ends and the province of British Columbia begins. It's a story of war and peace, of greed, of friendship and hatred, and of a man and a woman of different cultures learning to love again.
