109 pages. Black and white reproductions of photos. "A narrative of the personal adventures of Claude R. "Paddy" Wilson, a seventy-seven year old veteran prospector and cook. For over thirty years he worked in the mines and diamond drilling camps on the Red Lake gold fields in Northern Ontario. This work is based on three pencilled manuscripts he wrote after abandoning his search for gold in 1948. Names have been changed to protect those unfortunates who, like Paddy Wilson, suffered and enjoyed the unusual consequences of gold fever." - Preface. Name clipped from top of front free endpaper, otherwise book clean and unmarked with moderate wear. Above-average wear to dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A sound copy of this engaging read.
