I've been interested in Begbie's character and history for decades, since I served (theatrically) in the '80s of the last century as his assistant in a historical presentation at the Richfield Courthouse near Barkerville, whither he travelled frequently during his circuit court days.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17085052854171355366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-11022940378968504442014-09-02T10:40:28.623-07:002014-09-02T10:40:28.623-07:00Hi Stephen - I took this photo in the Legislative ...Hi Stephen - I took this photo in the Legislative Assembly Building. The original is hanging on a wall in a hallway there. You're right - it's not Begbie, it's John Foster McCreight, BC's first Premier. I suspect the mis-identification is a simple mistake on my part but it is also possible the photo itself was mislabeled - I'll check next time I'm near the Legislature. In the meantime, thanks for noticing this and commenting.Benjamin Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557453060872726741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-74618652660580466092014-09-02T09:45:35.181-07:002014-09-02T09:45:35.181-07:00What is the source of this photograph?

Sure doesn't look like any of his other photos.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17085052854171355366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-45590613794723590172011-08-26T12:46:17.351-07:002011-08-26T12:46:17.351-07:00Nice wig though. lolNice wig though. lolJoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-67480355063311073702011-08-26T12:44:45.334-07:002011-08-26T12:44:45.334-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.com
