      About This Book

      This popular children's novel is based on a real unsolved murder that took place in Barkerville, B.C. during the 1860's Gold Rush. The quick-paced an engrossing story brings to life and exciting era of British Columbia history as its hero, Ted, struggles with his doubts and fears when he tries to solve the mysterious murder of a young man on his way to the gold fields. When the story presents an actual trial conducted by a historical B.C. judge, young Ted must consider the issue of capital punishment.

      An appendix of historical notes gives a brief sketch of each real character, including Judge Begbie, who was known as the hanging judge. Now in its sixth printing, this book is widely used in elementary classrooms.
