The Cariboo gold rush of the 1860s, Barkerville, and murder: The true story, based on actual trial records of Hanging Judge Begbie.

Others left empty handed, or moved on to newer strikes still further north. Charles Blessing made 2 mistakes that cost him his life: he flashed his roll in a rowdy bar and he chose the wrong traveling companion, and ended up with a bullet in the back of his head.
