[Bryan Mitchell · Rating 5 out of 5]

A neat, little book which covers the history of Cassiar, British Columbia in its entirety with a brief window into the Stikine region. The sociological angle helps strengthen the book’s historic documentation of the abandoned mining town through and statistics and anecdotes from former townspeople.

Those familiar with LoadingReadyRun’s RoadQuest show—and abandoned building enthusiasts—might want to check this book out!

A very well written book about the beginning and end of a small mining town.
