Gold War

Gold may be a precious commodity today, but in the 1800s, it inspired several people to try a
"hand" at finding the priceless element in the mountains of North America and Canada. The gold
mines of Canada were where many mining stories were formed, especially among the Mountain
Indians of Canada. In the new historical book by Rock Hunter, Gold War: The Lost Gold Mines
of Canada's Mountain Indians, the geographic history of gold in Canada is expounded on
through short stories. Legends are also examined, such as the story of the Indian Slumach and
how his mysterious gold mine in the wilderness has never been located. Besides the historical
significances of the gold mines in Canada, particularly in Princeton and British Columbia, Rock
also discusses the geography of gold and how it forms with the recesses of the earth, which leads
into a creation and evolution debate worth hearing.
