About the Author
Gabe G. Kubichek immigrated to Canada as a refugee after the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. His involvement and the outcome of the revolution, prompted him to leave Hungary with his brother Matt, or be hanged. His dream finally became reality in the middle of December of 1956 he and his brother were headed toward the promissed land, the land of opportunity, to Canada, though his lifelong dream was to come to America. Gabe and his brother got separated in Vienna, Austria. Their last words were, see you in Canada brother. Not knowing the extent of the land. His first job as a miner in a copper mine in Rouyn-Noranda. He had no idea where his brother might be. A Hungarian language newspapaper in Toronto offered free advertising to find realatives, or people geing separated, such as Gabe and Matt.
Two months later, Gabe received a letter from his brother, telling him he lived in Timmins, Ontario only 160 miles away, and was working in a gold mine. Gabe promptly quit his job in the copper mine, and traveled to Timmins to be with his brother. He also got a job in the gold mine, however they never saw gold while working in the mine. Gabe and Matt got interested, and both became weekend prospectors. Later on both moved to British Columbia, where Matt got lucky and bought a gold claim in the Caribou region around Keithley Creek British Columbia. Gabe decided to continue his education but frequently visited Matt and worked with him in his gold mine. Gabe finally experienced his dream and settled in the United States. He became a published author of "Dreaming of Amerika." He has retired and is now living in Stayton, Oregon, a short distance from Salem, with his loving wife, Helen.
Matt passed away in 1999 and is resting to eternity in the Keithley Creek Pioneer Cemetery with other Argonauts from the bygone days.

The Stuff That Dreams Are Made On,
By Grady Harp (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: GOLD AND WHERE YOU FIND IT: There's Gold in Them Thar Hills! (Paperback)
GOLD AND WHERE YOU FIND IT is one of those little 'particular interest books' that are wantonly placed by the bedside to provide a little distraction on the way toward giving up the day's pace and drifting into slumber. That is unless the book is by the wonderfully honest and enchanting writer Gabe G. Kubichek (see 'Dreaming of Amerika, his other book about his flight from Hungary during the Revolution to get a flavor of the author's talent in communication!).
Reading the Preface, in the straightforward humble manner that is Kubichek's warm trademark, and it becomes obvious that a brief glance at this informative and entertaining book will not be a sleep sampler. Kubichek knows just how much personal history to infuse into the 'how to' book about gold mining to make us stay with him. He toys with the history of gold mining, tickles our imagination with some sage comments on panning and dredging for the eternally seductive natural metal, and then proceeds to offer instruction on exactly how to look for gold. He gives easy to follow (and purchase) tools lists, information as to the proper time of the year to look for gold (varying from location to location) and why, and then spends the remainder of the book discussing the states and locales favorable to gold mining today. There is enough information packed into this brief book to saturate the curiosity and stimulate the ardor for finding gold - and then Kubichek takes us by the hand and assists us with a sturdy reference list at the back of the book to make us well-educated novice gold miners. The book is short (123 fact filed pages), written in a terrific conversational style without dumbing down the reader (would that an editor caught some of the punctuation and spelling and reference errors...), and is so contagiously presented that it is most probable that the bedside lamp won't be turned off until the reader has finished this warm volume in toto. But oh the dreams it instigates...Grady Harp, November 06
