"Lure of the Chilcotin"
by Christine Peters
In 1967, Christine Peters of Buffalo, New York, left Ithaca, New York, with Bronx-born Mark Gilman, in her father's old Studebaker Lark and headed to British Columbia with seven hundred dollars. Idealistic and naive, they lived out of their car and tried sleeping one night inside the Stanley Park hollow tree, only to be chased away by police. Desperate for money, she took a teaching job at Big Creek in the Chilcotin. Some 38 years later, having raised four sons in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, mostly as a homesteader without running water, she wrote and self-published her memoir, The Lure of the Chilcotin (Trafford, 2005) from her Tatla Lake cabin west of Williams Lake. Event details: Meet Christine by our mall doors to discuss her experiences of her life living 'back to nature.'
