“Around 1868, Wong Man Ding, nicknamed “Cariboo Jack”, walked from Yale up the Cariboo Road to 150 Mile House, on to Quesnel Forks, Keithley Creek, and over the mountains to Swift River and Stanley…in 50 years, Jack only left the Stanley area once, spending a winter in Prince George.”
From the book, . . . And So . . . That's How It Happened: Recollections of Stanley-Barkerville, 1900-1975 by W. M. Hong, Edited By Gary & Eileen Seale.
