Slumach's Gold: in Search of a Legend—and a Curse
A deep dive into the fascinating legend of Slumach's lost gold mine, focused on the Pitt Lake area, based on the true execution of Slumach in 1891 that spawned rumours of a hidden hoard of gold nuggets the size of walnuts. Gold seekers have searched for this treasure for over 130 years, and no one has found it yet... or have they? Our 'capstone book' released in October 2024 is already on the BC Bestsellers list, and forms the basis of this presentation.
