Biographical history
George Ball was born in Woodstock, New Brunswick in 1896, and moved to the Cassiar district in 1912. For a number of years he was engaged in a variety of activities, including mining, trapping, carrying the mail between Telegraph Creek and Atlin, and guiding. In approximately 1930, he bought the pack train of guide outfitter J. Frank Callbreath, and in 1931 or 1932, Callbreath's ranch at Glenora and his warehouse at Telegraph Creek. Ball organized and guided hunts, and with his family ran the Diamond B guest ranch until his death in 1955.
