In 1934 international entrepreneur and filmmaker Charles Bedeaux
hired a team of Canadian men to trail blaze from Edmonton, Alberta,
to Telegraph Creek, BC. What started out as adventure for Carl
Davidson and Bob Beattie soon became a treacherous and
heartbreaking journey. While Bedeaux hob-nobbed with Europe's elite
in Paris, Beattie and Davidson suffered impossible challenges and
near starvation in BC's harshest country. After five years of
misadventure and virtually no communication from Bedeaux, Beattie
and Davidson were informed that the mission had been called off,
just before Bedeaux was arrrested for espionage. The ill-fated trip
is just one of many stories gleaned from the memories of pioneers
who settled the interior of British Columbia during the first half
of the twentieth century. Hardships and misfortune were the norm,
but as Boudreau discovers, many possessed an intangible mettle and
a sense of humour that saw them through rough times. In "Trappers
and Trailblazers" Boudreau has preserved stories in danger of
disappearing, and his extraordinary research has also uncovered a
collection of intriguing and previously unpublished photographs.
