THE JOURNEY, The Overlanders' Quest for Gold by Bill Gallaher is a beautifully presented book that tells the tale of a group of adventurous men, with one remarkable woman, who travelled west from Manitoba in 1862, following their dreams of gold.
With his gift for storytelling, Gallaher brings this intriguing era to the page as he vividly recounts the overland trek of the spirited Catherine Schubert, who made the trip in an undetected state of pregnancy; James Sellar, a combative young man of rigid determination; and Thomas McMicking, the visionary captain of the often unruly company.
