The History Channel launches a six-episode program “Curse of the Frozen Gold” next Wednesday August 26th at 10pm Pacific Daylight Time.
Brian Antonson, whom a lot of you will remember fondly from your BCIT days, shared his excitement with us, so we can share it with you. .
“What’s exciting for us is that this series covers the famous Lost Creek Gold Mine legend from British Columbia’s Pitt Lake area, and our Canadian best seller Slumach’s Gold: In Search of a Legend is a key part of the storytelling. Heritage House Publishers of Victoria published this great book in 2007, and to date, over 10,000 copies have been sold. 5,000 sales constitute a best seller in Canada, so Slumach’s Gold has broken that target twice now!
It’s available at bookstores everywhere, can be ordered online at http://www.amazon.ca/Slumachs-Gold-In-Search-Legend/dp/1894974352 or at https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/home/search/?keywords=slumach‘ and also is available as a download.
Brian sent along links to a couple of pages promoting the show:
I met Brian in 1981 when I was in Grade 12, at a High School Job Fair type of thing. He encouraged me to take a few courses at BCIT, he taught one of the classes I took, a great guy. I’m glad to see he made a name for himself with this new book 😉
In my high school days I had a teacher who spent each summer trying to track down this gold. The school was near Pitt Lake so he didn’t have far to go in a relative sense, although the lake is a big one and the actual area he explored was far beyond the lake’s northern boundary.
that is so cool!
Well done Brian!
