The story culminates in the summer of 1962 in the Peace River Area, in the general area around Chetwynd and Dawson Creek. Kate and Ned have an encounter with "Willis" who has managed to escape his incarceration, and has located Kate for revenge.
When the Cariboo highway changed locations in 1958, the original community in the story lost its school,its store, and its community dance hall. The grocery store and post office burned to the ground in1957, and was immediately replaced with a temporary structure that served for several more years. This little hamlet slowly withered and died on the vine with the relocation of the Cariboo highway between Quesnel and Hixon in 1958.
The second community in the story, the Village of Little Prairie was re-named Chetwynd in the summer of 1958. The Pacific Great Eastern railway had just arrived and the town was a typical construction town during this time period.
The surrounding country side was teeming with deer, moose and wild chickens of several different varieties. A few elk herds were starting to proliferate in this area as well.
The author lived on the banks of Ahbau Creek during the time period 1951 to 1958, caught the salmon as they migrated up the creek, and dodged the resident grizzly during the annual salmon run.
This area was mined by Chinese migrant workers during the Cariboo gold rush, and many remnants of their lives were still evident some 90 years later. As a twelve year old boy in the year 1958 he dug around the Chinese mining area like an amateur anthropologist. Some of these diggings inspired scenes in the book. He moved to Little Prairie with his family in 1958.
