The Journey: The Overlanders' Quest for Gold
No Customer Reviews
Following their dreams, a group of adventurous young men - and one remarkable woman - travelled west from Manitoba in 1862. The Overlanders' destination was the goldfields of the Cariboo. Central to The Journey are three intriguing individuals: the brave, spirited Catherine Schubert, who made the trip in an undetected state of pregnancy; James Sellar, a combative young man of rigid determination; and, Thomas McMicking, the visionary captain of the often unruly company. Their astonishing journey proved much longer and tougher than they imagined, bringing them unexpected difficulties and delays, including a shortage of food, extreme heat, steep gullies and lashing thunderstorms on the prairies, and freezing cold, impenetrable forests and rushing rivers among the forbidding mountains. Yet on they went, undeterred by hardship and fired by hope.
