pp. [6] 160.B/w illustrations .”This 35th-anniversary edition greatly expands the original, bringing new research, fascinating updates and fresh insights. Slumach s Gold chronicles what is possibly Canada s greatest lost-mine story. It searches out the truth behind a Salish man s hanging for murder in 1891, and tracks the birth and growth of a legend: the man s death turned into a drama of international fascination when Slumach the hanged criminal was mysteriously linked to gold nuggets the size of walnuts. According to legend, Slumach placed a curse on his hidden motherlode just before he plunged to his death at the wrong end of a five-strand rope, thereby protecting it from interlopers and trespassers for more than a century. Rick Antonson, Mary Trainer and Brian Antonson have diligently sifted through history and myth, separating fact from fiction, but leaving the legend intact along with the promise of gold yet to be found by some future gold seeker. “
