Living in the shadow of Fisher Peak : the life and times of Jack Fisher : a historical novel

Powell, Keith G. (Author).

Summary: In 1849, sixteen-year-old Jack Fisher, of Philadelphia, headed for the rich goldfields of California, across the barren Midwest, enduring hardships every step of the way. Gold fever eventually drove him north to the banks of Wild Horse Creek in Kootenay country, where he finally claimed his fortune only to lose it as quickly as he found it. This historical novel tells the story of Jack Fisher in an entertaining manner, one that reflects the overall spirit and experience of the frontier.
