Overview

Slumach's Gold examines the mix of history and myth surrounding a Salish man hanged in 1891 and the enduring tale that he hid a rich vein of gold. The narrative separates archival fact from rumor while preserving the mystery that has inspired generations of seekers.

Drawing on documentary evidence and local tradition, the authors reconstruct the 1891 events, review reports of walnut-sized nuggets and an alleged protective curse, and trace the many attempts to locate the lost mine.

Ideal for readers of regional history, folklore and treasure-hunting lore, the book offers a measured, readable investigation that places the legend in the broader context of British Columbia's mining and Indigenous histories.
