This historically based novel is about the adventures of Philip Henry Nind, the 1st Gold Commissioner in the Cariboo region of British Columbia in 1860, whose voluminous letters to Governor Douglas told of the exploding development of the country. The twenty odd years spent researching the history of roadhouses between New Westminster and Barkerville have given the author a vast reserve of stories that are only now being revealed in this, her first novel.
