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

It's been two years did they find the Mother Load?

Nice
My new friend's video is really the best ~ 84 subscribes and supports my friend~
Simon Fraser is unsung? One of Canada's best Universities is named after him. People know his name, trust me. especially in BC.
homes costing $500 sold for $100 as crowds prepared to abandon San Francisco to strike out for the Fraser River gold rush ~
Most of the people came from San Francisco when the earthquake destroyed it, that is why Vancouver is San Francisco's sister city.
Cheep

Raised in Victoria never taught this history

Poor natives
The okanagan indigenous people used to be very mean, not just that everything was food.
Yes everything dogs, cats, white people, salmon.
@4:03 worst panning technique ever.
Booooorrring as hell
Well you watched it,so you had to have found something interesting..Cause I really don't want to say the other possibility..lol
For you to call history boring shows your lack of intelligence.
This was boring
