Description

The Klondike gold rush, which occurred between 1896 and 1899, was once one of the most strangest outbreaks of “gold fever” ever to take place. With news of California’s rush still fresh in their minds, thousands of men with get-wealthy-quick dreams hurried to stake out claims in the Yukon. But they didn’t count at the murderous weather…or the severe mountain passes that secure the gold. Among individuals who came with high hopes were writer Pierre Berton’s parents; here, he presents vividly written, firsthand accounts of the gunfights, con men, avalanches, frostbite, and starvation people endured. It’s an incredible and unforgettable true story of superhuman challenges, death-defying adventure, and lifelong friendships.
