I heard what started the Fraser River gold rush was trade between two men and a native fellow in fort Kamloops, New Caledonia sometime around 1850.. Men went by the names of James Houston, Ferdinand Boulanger-aka Peter Baker, and an unnamed native man. Danold Mclean chief factor for the HBC in fort Kamloops sent word, and gold, to governor Sir James Douglas after learning of the discovery and trade between the men. Gold was later shipped to SF for smelting and refining. Archie your waist coat/vest is missing a button! Great vid, Happy trails out there all!

Fucking traitors! Americans could have made BC, Alberta and Yukon part of the US but the traitor Canadians on the east coast let the British military slip in and claim it for Canada and the American miners flooding in allowed it!

There's Gold up There in Fraser :) QC

Gold rushes are always fun history lessons. The people who consistently made the most money were the outfitter stores, saloons, hustling women , scammers. Like most other booms, the people who scored big and made money blew through it and ended up with nothing. Books on the Frasier gold rush are available in some stores along the Frasier canyon. Good video.

@4:03 worst panning technique ever.

Samson has a sister ship, abandoned in burns bog, for those from Delta who have found her.

B.C. indeed a colourful history.

Canadian stalingrad the fight for ortona is a good watch if you can find it, also bbc series called ww2 the last heroes, and the black devils, much honor and respect from blighty, your sacrifices is always remembered here, no matter how much other nations play each of us off like a childish game...

Wow the amount of people versus now. My God, my childhood lol 😂 what’s going on…it’s a cute place for the instagram generation to learn about the past.

My grandfather, Gord Andry, landed on Juno beach on D-Day. He was only 16 when he enlisted and thankfully survived the war and passed away at the age of 91. His brother, Sergeant Frank Joseph Andry was not so lucky, being killed in action in Italy in December, 1944. He was 25 years old. I thank God for the bravery and sacrifice of all soldiers. God bless our boys.

My Uncle Don Wells was an Ensign on the USS Barnett. He talked about dropping General Roosevelt off. They took on wounded. He never talked about the gore only saying it was "Hell." He turned 100 Saturday. He went around to schools as part of a Kiwanis program around Alexandria, Va. with veterans to discuss WWII with them. He went to Sicily after that for a landing, and then on to the Pacific never talking about it.

No wonder you called UK home you sort four Xmas here without firing a shot

Poor natives

i have a few questions they may have been anwserd in the video but its very hard for me to focus on school. who lived in bc first

I still get a kick out of hearing Canadians talk like they're a real country, and not the British colony they really are.

Some of the nicest, politest, and respectful people in the World! But there's a flip side to that... Newton's 3rd law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Mess with us or our allies and you better look the F out! The Germans hated fighting the Canadians...anyone but they Canadians they would say!

Love our golden history wish they had one on the sooke leechtown gold rush

Raised in Victoria never taught this history

Less of a documentary, this is more poetry. Too much romance, not enough fact.

Year I was born 1994. Can't believe they still looked like that back then

st watched it again, i watched this also in Hells Gate, nice documentary

My new friend's video is really the best ~ 84 subscribes and supports my friend~

why is there a canadian flag on an old paddle wheeler 27:47

tks dad and my uncle for making it backto canada

Do you mind telling me what you used for making this?

Nice this is helping my Gr.4 class

Thanks for this documentary.

Great job on documenting important history of B.C.

The okanagan indigenous people used to be very mean, not just that everything was food. Yes everything dogs, cats, white people, salmon.

Love this old stuff, its why i make some videos now! lol.

pity the ]at 20;13] the gentle lute stumming s rhythm han nothing in commom with the poem?

👍👍👌

Simon Fraser is unsung? One of Canada's best Universities is named after him. People know his name, trust me. especially in BC.

The commentator was mistaken when he said that the beaches were linked by the end of the day. In actuality, none the beaches were linked were several days, especially the two American beaches, and the Canadian and British beach on the Canadian left flank! The Germans launched a counterattack into this gap which failed to achieve its goal!

This was boring

@45:50 is stated a flat out lie. One told by Montgomery. He was chastised later for it, but I see it made into this documentary as propaganda. History records it thus, In the aftermath, Montgomery tried to redefine Goodwood’s aims. He said that it had always been about distracting the Germans from Cobra and so was a success. But the heavy casualties and failed objectives told a different tale. Goodwood would remain a subject of controversy for years to come. It was not until after the success of Cobra that Montgomery was able to capture Caen and move on to Falaise. In fact the Falaise gap was never closed because Montgomery failed to meet his ogjectives. Those facts were in no way the fault of the brave Canadians Montgomery abused as cannon fodder for his political aspirations. Montgomery was an incompetent and weak leader.

It's cool finding out Simon Fraser is my great,great grandfather!,,Only found out about 25years ago when we had our Family Reunion with the Frasers that still live in BC.Patents knew but never cared to tell us kids I guess.lol..So now we have the Reunion 1 year in Alberta,then next one in BC and back and forth..I think being a relative I should be entitled to many many claims.lol

It's called an allied victory for a reason. .

A little resource company by the name of Westhaven Ventures thinks they may have found the "Load" that supplies the tributaries where the 1850's gold rush was discovered.

Btw, I was there for the 60th anniversary to take photos to later turn into paintings for the C.F.A.P. and I now have 2 in the Canadian War Museum as part of the permanent collection..I am also an Infantry veteran,2 P.P.C.L.I.

Though I do appreciate this effort I am very frustrated that American propaganda is producing highly well produced disinformation movies that make it look like they did it all themselves by people like National Geographic but all we can put out are these home made style videos?!!!

Thank you for sharing this great part of WW2 history. I wish more is said about Canada's part of freedom they fought for. President TRUMP should watch this video. Thanks again! Paul US Army Veteran.

It wasn't to liberate europe. It was to defeat Germany who wewre declared war on by the british empire and france because of invading Poland. if this is not moral reason enough then why invent the false impression of germany desiring to rule europe? i'm not persuaded it was worth risking our Canadian lives for poland or to help the British. It must only be to save life. i don't see my life as secondary to pOlish independence. yet still our canadians fought well, smart, and morally.

Nice

Booooorrring as hell
