Note:
In A.Y.’s Canada, Naomi Jackson Groves recounts Jackson’s trip to this part of B.C., this “region of fable evocatively misspelled ‘Cariboo’ back in the gold rush days of 1960.” She opines: “We can be sure that the type of paydirt A.Y. struck there in the mid-1940’s contained as many good nuggets as any prospector uncovered - and A.Y.’s have probably afforded more lasting pleasure!”
