Talk:Omineca Gold Rush

Hogem and Old Hogem

Excellent work, Cindy, just browsed it so far, nice detail, could be model for Fraser Canyon Gold Rush eventually, same Cariboo Gold Rush/Cariboo goldfields (the latter is a more viable title because of the longevity of that particular goldfield and the many towns/creeks in question); maybe in the long run we can break down Fraser Gold Rush in the same way, but in that case by bar and town (bar as in sand/gold-bearing bar, not....). Just some thoughts. Anyway, I know the story of Hogem and Old Hogem, not sure where to cite it from; it might be in Forsythe's new book from CBC which I've got here; maybe you've already got them in the article, I haven't read it closely enough. William G. Manson is one article I've got to get around to; namesake of Manson Creek of course....Skookum1 (talk) 20:17, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

or not, I just read your article, or this and it seems there's another Manson it could be.Skookum1 (talk) 22:59, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Useful resource

Found this last night which has a lot of information on this rush; all British Columbia gold rushes need article-expansion; I recently made Stikine Gold Rush, and have yet to do the more important Cassiar Gold Rush.Skookum1 (talk) 22:59, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
