Summary "GOLD, GOLD, IN CARIBOO!" by Clive Phillipps-Wolley is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the gold fever that affects the inhabitants of Victoria, British Columbia, as they yearn for fortunes in the Cariboo region. The story appears to follow the adventures of Edward Corbett and his friend Steve Chance, who are drawn into the gold rush, leaving behind their previous lives for the promise of wealth and excitement in the untamed wilderness. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the backdrop of 1862 Victoria, where the remnants of a gold rush linger in the air. Corbett is depicted as eager to venture into the wild and embark on a mining adventure, driven by the promises of gold that entice many others. Alongside Chance, a painter with a practical outlook, and the character Phon, a lively Chinaman, they engage in lively banter and discussions about work, gold, and their transition to life in the wilderness. Their interactions set the tone for a narrative filled with humor, camaraderie, and a quest for fortune, drawing readers into the anticipation of their journey into the heart of the Cariboo gold fields.
