Corky Evans (WOM2008) - Can’t See the Forest for the Trees <> Corky talks about the history of logging in the Slocan Valley from the very beginning, how the valley went from 17 sawmills and 38 logging companies to 1

Barry Gray (WOM2006) - Legend of John Kirkup

<> Some great stories of John Kirkup during his time in Rossland, based on popular legends of the time.  In April 2023 I finally cracked the mystery of where the famous Remington sketch of John Kirkup was done, which sheds a lot of light on that part of the legend.  For that story refer to the John Kirkup page, and in particular to Dan Dunn’s Outfit.

Barry Gray (WOM2008) - Down From the Mountains

<> Barry’s story Down From The Mountains

Carolyn McTaggart (WOM2005) - Jenny Wren

<> Jenny Wren and the Christmas To Remember

Carolyn McTaggart (WOM2006) - Seige of Farwell

<> Stories of John Kirkup from his time before Rossland.  I believe her source for this story was a story called The Unfortunate Jerry Hill and Free Enterprise, published in BC Provincial Police Stories, Volume 1, by Cecil Clark

Carolyn McTaggart (WOM2008) - Runway

<> Carolyn’s story Runaway
