BRITISH COLUMBIA MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING FACTUAL REPRESENTATION OF OUR WESTERN TREASURES Folks, when word got out that Gold was discovered in 1858 in British Columbia, the area was overrun with prospective miners. Their lives were soon snuffed out by the biggest Indian fight ever to take place along the Fraser River. Cries of GOLD ON THE FRASER! SOON CHANGED TO: MURDER ON THE FRASER! and, here the noted author Edward Villiers reports of the life and death struggle of these old miners who sought riches in territory the Indians believed was theirs. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the struggle of the gold mining pioneers of the old west like this one are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em. Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive I hope you appreciate the effort. MASSACRE ON THE FRASER By Edward Villiers Folks, sooner or later - Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying on some dealer's dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, it’s worth all the time I spend.
