Daniel Marshall and the hidden relic from one of mainland BC’s oldest remaining houses.
Over the years I have been fortunate to stay at one of the oldest-remaining houses along the lower Fraser River from the gold rush period: the historic Teague House of Yale. Built in the 1860s, this extraordinarily well-preserved home had a succession of colourful owners (including Andrew Onderdonk, CP Railway Engineer), but primarily the family of William Teague. Like thousands of others, Teague had been swept up by the Fraser River Excitement of 1858. Teague had mined at Cornish (or Murderer’s) Bar south of Hope, and soon held a number of early government appointments from early policeman to later-day gold commissioner, or government agent. Many a night I would sit on the old veranda, overlooking not only the mighty Fraser rolling by, but the original Hope to Yale road (found directly below this house) that my great-great-great Uncle William rebuilt in the 1870s.
