Biographical history
C.C. Brant was a teamster hauling logs from a logging dump in Whitney, Ontario in the winter of 1919. Shortly thereafter he moved to Fort St. John, British Columbia. In the winter of 1922 he had been there long enough to apply for a land patent. He still had his horses but was also ranching at the Z Cross Ranch. He was considering going into a partnership with others so that he would be free to return back to Ontario for a visit.
Custodial history
Scope and content
The fonds consists of four letters written to John and Christine McCampbell. All the letters are signed C.C.B. Three are written from Whitney while the fourth is from “Brant and Walker, Z Cross Ranch, Fort St. John, B.C.” The assumption has been made that Christine is his sister and John his brother-in-law, although he does address them as “brother and sister”. The McCampbells are living in Uxbridge Ont. in 1919 and in Thessalon, Ont. in 1922. The most interesting letter is the one written from Fort St. John. He predicts that “this country is going to boom” before too long.
