Gold Mountain: The True Story of the BC Gold Rush 

I could watch History like this all day without getting tired of it. I live right in the heart of the historic gold rush trail in B.C , about an hour drive from Barkerville. When I was in my Teenager years, I lived in a small town still North of Barkerville, And I knew a man that had a gold claim. I wanted to learn how to prospect one, so he took me on as a helper. We un earthed lots of relics that were left behind from the Chinese that had been there years before. This one time I found rock carvings. They were carved like a persons foot. I watched the first one tumble down the sluice bed, and I grabbed it. It was fully in tacked with no chips, later I found the matching one, but it had been broken. The full foot was perfectly balances where if you set it on the table, you could slide a piece of paper under the heal

Cool Story. Prospecting has me hooked!

Interesting short history of the Chinese miners and workers in British Columbia.

1858 is the same yr my Grandfather Captain James Douglas Warren came to explore the Salish Seas from PEI. He was pals with Sir Douglas, Captain Springs & McKay. He had many Schooners, Steamships & many Shipwrecks ( SSBeaver, Barbara Boscowitz etc. He opened up Trade Routes for the HBC around Vancouver Island to the Haida Gwaii. Where he married my Gram Tutsumutsa Edenshaw a Chief's daughter who was interned to Kuper Island while he was picking up body's around Vancouver Island during the pandemic. He later sold his fleet to the Union Steamship Company & opened up a Family with my Great Gramps Fred Warren called Warren Tugs on my Aunt Sarah's Songhees Village & she was the GGGrandaughter of King Freezie. Some history and only new this from 20 yrs ago.

Nice to see and hear Lily Chow in this video. She has written many books on the history of the Chinese in B.C.

Damnn this channel really deserves more views!! The content is really great, really informative, really really interesting. I hope this channel will have much more audience!

Since we know "Jiujinshan" (舊金山, lit. "old gold mountain") was historically the name the Chinese gave to San Francisco, in Japanese the same three characters (舊金山) would be pronounced "kyukinzan" (using On'yomi) and in Korean as "gyugeumsan" (using Sino-Korean character-by-character method with romanization in Revised Romanization). However, the Japanese also use a different name for its official translation, such as Kanayama (as read using Kun'yomi).

cool

Something many gold miners today know is that the Chinese weren't allowed to mine virgin land. After the european American miners finished mining a claim the Chinese would come in and rework the land and extracted more gold than the European miners.

It’s so sad how Chinese were treated! They didn’t deserve all the rudeness

my grand farther worked in logging camps,ate lard,woke up in the morning cleaned the snow off his blanket. there might be misinformation on how good people had it.

I have been enjoying BC history since our catastrophic floods brought the province to attention. BUT My heart breaks at how we treated these Native Canadians and foreign immigrants.

8:30 Poor woman had to causally do interview with flys landing on her.

Real gold mountain it’s only in the place call SERRA PELADA in BRAZIL

Saying that it had to do with business practices moreso than race is so extremely naive. It’s the same as how Jews were treated all over Eu for centuries

Interesting video - maybe stop so much emphasis on discrimination. One can focus on their accomplishments. I would bet that those hard men, if they were here today, would rather a video be made on how successful they became instead of a video that turns them into victims.

I wanted to hear about the gold. Don't care about race.
