THE CHILCOTIN WAR

(At the Dean River Crossing at “The Fishtrap”. 200 miles west of Williams Lake on the Bella Coola Road)

In 1864 Alfred Waddington’s crew constructing a road from Bute Inlet to ‘Cariboo’ was almost wiped out by resentful natives about 65 miles to the south.  The war party then killed members of a pack train here and spread terror across the whole interior.  Governor Seymour’s armed patrols captured the suspects who were convicted and hanged at Quesnel.
