From the recording John Cameron
When Cameron arrived at the Cariboo in 1860 fate dealt him a cruel twist. John “Cariboo” Cameron would strike the richest seam in all the Cariboo and although he became its richest man, he was by no means the happiest.
The trip from Canada West to the Fort Victoria via Panama was a long and arduous journey. His daughter Alice became sick, and less than a week after stepping off the ship "Brother John" in Victoria, she died. The Camerons were heartbroken but determined to press on to the goldfields.
