Cariboo Gold Rush

The Cariboo Gold Rush was a gold rush in the Canadian province of British Columbia. Although the first gold discovery was made in 1859 at Horsefly Creek by Peter Dunlevy, followed by more strikes at Keithley Creek and Antler Creek in 1860, the actual rush did not begin until 1861, when these discoveries were widely publicized. By 1862, following the strikes at William's Creek, the rush was in full swing.
