Although we have been greatly helped by a number of librarians and archivists, we can acknowledge the professional assistance of only a few: Patricia Kennedy and Andrew Rodger of the National Archives of Canada; Shiri Alon of the McCord Museum; Lyn Moranda of the Vancouver Museum Archives; Julie Warren and Kelly-Ann Nolin of the Royal British Columbia Museum for help on the photographs; the Mitchell Library, Sydney, New South Wales and the State Archives of New South Wales; and Catherine Whiteley of the Malaspina University College library.

We are also grateful to the following institutions for permission to publish various images: the State Library of Victoria; the Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley; and Hancock House. We thank Alden and Cali Hackman for permission to use Tim Crosby’s photograph of the hurdy-gurdy and Heritage House for the use of maps from Branwen Patenaude’s Trails to Gold, published by Horsdal and Schubart.

As well, we would like to thank Kirk Howard and Tony Hawke for their encouragement and Jennifer Bergeron for her editorial expertise. Writing for Dundurn was a pleasure.

Our gratitude to Chris Greenwood for diligent proofreading. And last, but certainly not least, we thank Ben and Josh Short for their patient direction, enthusiastic support, and, most importantly, their crash course into the mysteries of cyberspace.
