Charles Miller

Thanks to Val Patenaude (Maple Ridge Museum and Archives) who contributed this newspaper cutting from the The Gazette of 17 January 1963. Today Charles Miller  is remembered most as Ruskin's historian. He published two books: The Golden Mountains in 1973 and the Valley of the Stave in 1981 (Hancock House). The Golden Mountains is still much thought after by treasure hunters and many (most) of the mines have been rediscovered. The Valley of the Stave is equally valuable for those interested in regional history.
