Now we have seen the GOLD, and seen the men who dig it, and are satisfied" wrote an on-the-scene observer for American frontier newspapers in April 1858--thus confirming fabulous rumors about gold strikes in the British possessions. Waves of miners from the American West already were on their way to the Fraser River country, joining hundreds of Indians, Vancouver Island colonists, and former fur trade employees in excavating for riches. The year 1858 would prove to be the most eventful in western Canadian history.Through the spring and summer, perhaps 25,000-40,000 gold seekers (estimates vary widely) in hastily arrayed watercraft swarmed up the Fraser's cold current into the vast "New Caledonia" wilderness--till then occupied only by native tribes and Hudson's Bay Company trading posts. Another 8,000 wealth hunters, striking overland on rugged mid-Columbia and Okanogan trails, likewise sank their shovels in the rich Fraser and Thompson river sandbars. The newcomers--mainly from Washington, Oregon, and especially California, and including original "Forty-niners"--were the first significant white population and some of the earliest pioneers of western Canada.This volume chronicles the remarkable events of 1858, largely in the words of those who were there--"miners and prospectors, merchants and entrepreneurs, officers and statesmen, and 'the media' of the day, those American and British newspaper reporters who were privileged to cover one the great stories of the century.

"Fraser's Penguins is a brilliant, beautiful, and terrifying account of what's happening at the bottom of our world."--Nathaniel Philbrick, author of The Last Stand, In the Heart of the Sea, and Sea of GloryCalled "exceptionally poignant" by Nature magazine, Fen Montaigne's sensitive and timely account of five months in Antarctica gives a taste of the global changes that will soon arrive in our own backyards. Scientist Bill Fraser has devoted three decades to Antarctica, and in that time this breathtaking region has warmed faster than any place on earth, with profound consequences for the Ad lies, the classic tuxedoed penguin that is dependent on sea ice to survive. During the Antarctic spring and summer of 2005-2006, author Fen Montaigne spent five months working on Fraser's field team, and he returned with a moving tale that chronicles the beauty of the wildest place on earth, the lives of the beloved Ad lies, the saga of the discovery of the Antarctic Peninsula, and the story--told through Fraser's work--of how rising temperatures are swiftly changing this part of the world. It's Montaigne's "descriptive prowess, his ability to evoke lavender--and cobalt, magenta and violet--without waxing purple, that most impresses" (New York Times Book Review) as he chronicles the penguins' plight, which is also our own.
