the Story and the Sights 

British Columbia 

Barry Bondar

Paperback  48 pages1

1" X 8 1/2"

Fragments of abandoned dreams are scattered throughout the Kootenay valleys, the collapsing roof of a one-room miner's shack, wooden derricks guarding empty mines, ghost towns where only the memory of free-flowing tales and alcohol remain. Each image is but a small reminder of the word gold. Ensnaring and luring thousands into the wilderness, the "fever" both produced and preyed upon greed, ambition, and dreams. For most men the desperate search for that most elusive of minerals ended in failure. For a fortunate few, dreams became reality. This area, rich in drama and history, invites you to experience the diversity of its rugged mountains and friendly valley centres. Those who enter the Kootenays soon begin to sense its lures and enticements. The beauty, the power, and the mystery are irresistible.
