FOLLOWING THE BOULDER TRAIN offers memorable insights into the driven, obsessed world of mineral exploration and the mining industry in BC.
Following the Boulder Train is full of remarkable life histories of legendary prospectors who made fortunes but couldn't take enough time away from bushwhacking to enjoy them, and of others who enjoyed them too much, making and losing so many fortunes they can't remember them all.
Tom Henry proves beyond a doubt in this lively volume, it is not for any lack of wonderful stories about the men and women who have been bitten by the rock-chipping bug over the years. Henry actually took a course in exploration geology and experienced first-hand the unique way of looking at the world peculiar to mineral hunters.
