One of the Uncha Valley鈥檚 most respected pioneers

Gustav (Gust) Braaten was one of the Uncha Valley鈥檚 most respected pioneers. Born in 1886, he and his family moved from North Dakota to Saskatchewan in 1910, and after homesteading there for a time, decided to try their luck in British Columbia. The family heard there was good farmland in the Lakes District, and in 1923, loaded their belongings aboard a Canadian National Railways train bound for 亚洲天堂 Lake.
