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. {113} INDEX Alexander, Mr, his tragic experience on the Fraser, 77-8; quoted, 93, 111.
