Red Lake Golden Treasure Chest

by Michael Barnes ($24.95)

Red Lake was the destination of a great gold rush that began with men and dog teams rushing over many miles of wilderness in their haste to take valuable ground, and ended with the journey made by many with pioneering pilots, often carried by fragile aircraft. This is the story of the people who stayed and made a pleasant community centred in the still unspoiled wilderness. The first prospectors are portrayed as well, as memorable people, some well known, and all worth remembering. 140 pages, Softcover (2008)

Five years later the Campbell Red Lake Mines went into production, and for many years, was known as Canada's richest gold mine.
