5x expanded by Connormah (talk). Self nominated at 16:05, 11 February 2014 (UTC).

- 5X expansion confirmed, hook is accurate, sourced and within length requirement. No apparent copyvio. Well written and consistent with MOS. Might suggest a slightly more robust hook. --Mike Cline (talk) 16:24, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that in 1862, along with Bill Cust, Canadian gold prospector, fur trader, and merchant Edward Carey discovered the first gold in Peace River?

Thanks for the review. ALT1 is an definitely improvement over my original and it seems the most logical to run with. – Connormah (talk) 00:40, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
