Need Help?
The Cariboo Trek of Callum McBay
In 1862, when the family farm is threatened with foreclosure following an outbreak of a deadly sheep-killing disease, 17-year-old, Callum McBay, embarks on a brave and perilous journey from Scotland to the gold fields of British Columbia, aiming to save it.
It’s 1862 and 17-year-old Callum leaves Scotland to join the gold rush in British Colombia’s Cariboo region, hoping to save the family farm from foreclosure.
Along the Harrison-Lillooet Trail, he befriends a colourful cast of fellow prospectors, and is forced to confront mortal dangers, including violent ruffians and a treacherous terrain. Callum witnesses how the onslaught of outsiders—fortune-seekers and settlers alike—prove destructive to the First Nations communities and the natural environment.
