Overlanders & Castles in the Air
Info
Author of 22 books and a leading historian of the Cariboo gold rush, Richard Thomas Wright has chosen to self-publish his 316-page summary of the epic cross-Canada search for gold from 1858 to 1862 in Overlanders. An update of Wright's 1985 publication from Western Producer Prairie Books, it's from his Winter Quarters Press in Williams Lake (Tel: 1-800-583-2880: $27.95) and is available directly from Sandhill Book Marketing. Wright and his partner Cathryn Wellner have also released a companion volume to their new CD (called Rough but honest miner). Both are based on reclaimed music of British Columbia's 1860s gold rush. The book ($12.95) called Castles in the Air combines Wellner's storytelling and Wright's music with a mutual love of history. When the liner notes for the CD became far too extensive, they decided an accompanying text was in order.
