Guy Lawrence
2000.23.1.067 · File · 1961-1962
Part of Audrey Smedley L'Heureux fonds

File consists of material relating to Guy Lawrence who wrote the autobiographical "Forty Years on the Yukon Telegraph", which details his arrival in Canada in 1898 from England to prospect in the Klondike Gold Fields. While en route, a gold strike was made at Atlin, B.C. that was closer and changed his plans. Spending two years working in various mining camps in Atlin, Lawrence joined the Yukon Telegraph Line, which was just being completed. This line ran 1900 miles from Vancouver, B.C. through Ashcroft to Hazleton, Whitehorse and Dawson City. Up to World War I, Lawrence worked from isolated wilderness cabins, relaying messages and repairing lines. After serving overseas in the war, he ran the telegraph office in Stewart, which ran a branch line along the Portland Canal to the company town of Anyox. He remained in Stewart for 26 years, retiring in 1946. By this time, due to the wireless, most of the line had been abandoned. Materials include reproductions of articles, and a transcribed oral history from Guy Lawrence, copied from the BC Provincial Archives.
