{"product_id":"9781894759762","title":"All Roads Lead to Wells: Stories of the Hippie Days","description":"In the late 1960s and '70s a small group of idealistic young women and men, self-described as \"volunteer peasants,\" moved to the tiny town of Wells in British Columbia's Central Interior. These hippies, with their waist-length hair and handlebar moustaches, long paisley skirts and gumboots, rusted cars and worn sofas, brought with them a Canadian version of the continent-wide back-to-the-land movement, the sexual revolution and the privilege of personal freedom. \u003ci\u003eAll Roads Lead to Wells\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of these young settlers, their migration, their values, the unexpected friendships forged between the town's old-timers and newcomers and the inevitable clash--occasionally violent--of generations and cultures. \u003cp\u003eBuilt during the Depression, Wells nearly became a gold-mining ghost town like nearby Barkerville, but thanks to the influence of the \"back-to-the-landers\" it has evolved into one of BC's renowned arts-based communities. \u003ci\u003eAll Roads Lead to Wells\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new take on the Cariboo--beyond gold and ranching.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Caitlin Press, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039801065712,"sku":"9781894759762","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781894759762_p0.jpg?v=1763609914","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781894759762","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
