From Broad Axe to Clay Chinking Upper Fraser Basin Links [About June | Home | Homesteads]

Within Living Landscapes, people are studying farmsteads and the pioneer life in a number of ways. If you found June Chamberland's work interesting, you might also be interested in these sites. These other Upper Fraser Basin projects also talk about the communities and people found in From Broad Axe to Clay Chinking. The Red Rock Community History Project has an extensive photography collection, including pictures of the Holzworths. Also, many of the stories told by the participants include the family, and some take place around the house. The excerpts from Norah Doherty's manuscript are a fascinating look at what life was like for the people who lived in these farmsteads. A Prince George Railway and Forestry Museum project interviews former and current railway employees, and their reminiscences include descriptions of life in and around Prince George, including supplying the surrounding farmsteads. The Upper Fraser Historical Geography Project studies small sawmill communities including Willow River. The Barkerville Historic Town Photo Database holds pictures of Willow River, including one of a winter snowfall. These are pamphlets for the Giscombe Portage trail, operated by the Huble Homestead Giscome Portage Heritage Society. One discusses the history of the area in Hiking Through History. The other discusses the physical geography of the park in Take A Hike Across the Continental Divide.
