New Book by Keith Powell

Keith Powell hosted a launch party for his new book this past week in Cranbrook, BC. His book is a fictional story based in Fisherville, BC, the location of the gold rush in our area. If it wasn't for Fisherville there likely would not have been a Fort Steele as our little town became the arrival, departure, and supply post for this gold rush - twice! Gold was first struck by Jack Fisher in 1864 and a resurgence of mining occured in the 1880's. Prior to this book there was little collective knowledge about Jack Fisher himself. Can't wait to read it!
