Barkerville, which was established in 1862 during the first Cariboo gold rush, was designated a heritage site in 1958 by the British Columbia government as part of the province's 100th anniversary celebrations. Located in the heart of the Cariboo mining district, Barkerville brought BC to the world's attention.

The histories and stories in this book were gleaned from the extensive research material that forms the core of Barkerville's library and archives.
