Gosnell's British Columbia Year Book and Hubert Howe Bancroft's British Columbia are very full on this era. Walter Moberly's pamphlets on the building of the trail and Mr Alexander's casual addresses are excellent. Old files of the Kamloops Sentinel and the Victoria Colonist are full of scattered data. Anderson's Hand Book of 1858, Begbie's Report to the London Geographical Society, 1861; Begg's British Columbia; Fraser's Journal; Mayne's British Columbia, 1862; Milton and Cheadle's North West Passage, 1865; Palliser's Report, 1859; Waddington's Fraser River Mines—all afford sidelights on this adventurous era. On the prospector's daily life there is no book. That must be learned from him on the trail; and on many camp trips in the Rockies, with prospectors for guides, I have picked up such facts as I could.
