"Manning Park Gallows" at "The Big Burn" on BC's Hope-Princeton Highway (Hwy. 3) west of Allison Pass, c.1958. Apparently, the "Big Burn" of August 8 to 31, 1945 was caused by a motorcycle tourist's or surveyor's cigarette or campfire which destroyed 5,920 acres (2,396 hectares) of forest. This would have been before the paved highway was completed in 1949. Postcard: K305 "YE OLDE MANNING PARK GALLOWS Hope-Princeton Highway, B. C., Canada" Published by COAST PUBLISHING CO., LTD., Vanc.
