1.1812: War with America1812: War with America
from Belknap Press
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
Latimer's book feels like a definitive account of a conflict that is very poorly understood or studied. The book is obviously not written to be a dry recounting of troop movements or a collection of anecdotes strung together as some seem to be. The author is not shy about making some sharp comments,... more info

2.Klondike FeverKlondike Fever
from Knopf

Customer Review:
A wonderful variety of stories about those who followed the lure of gold - some who actually panned for gold, others who made a living supporting the gold hunters. Sometimes tragic, sometimes inspiring, always amazing!

"The Last Spike" chronicles the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), 1881-1885, then the world's longest railway, extending a young Canada westward and consolidating its territories.

5.Good Time Girls of the Alaska-Yukon Gold RushGood Time Girls of the Alaska-Yukon Gold Rush
from Epicenter Pr

Customer Review:
I had to read this for a book club and didn't make it all the way through. I will give credit for a well researched book. It is a history of endless short accounts of the miners and the women who serviced them. While there are a few interesting characters, the information was limited and left you... more info

6.[no image]Klondike: The Last Great Gold Rush
from McClelland & Stewart

Customer Review:
An invaluable resource for all students. As a writer of a fictional account involving the Klondike Gold Rush, it was invaluable to me, as are all of Pierre Berton's works. Only one thing missing, or perhaps not very clear, is timeline - a month or even year when certain episodes happened. A lot of... more info

7.Gold Rush WomenGold Rush Women
from Alaska Northwest Books
Price: $12.71

Customer Review:
This small book's size belies the wealth of information it contains. The book gives brief (2-5 page) summaries of the lives of a wide variety of women that participated in the Klondike Gold Rush. The authors write as if they personally knew these women and were telling their friends about them.... more info

from Alaska Northwest Books

Customer Review:
This book provides a pretty decent history of the Chilkoot Pass and its usages during the Klondike Gold Rush era. In fact most of the book geared around the historical part of the Chilkoot although if anyone wishes to real a great book, Pierre Berton's Klondike: the Life and Death of the Last Gold... more info

from Dundurn Press
Price: $26.99

Customer Review:
Mr.Graves does an excellent job descirbing an obscure, yet compelling battle of the War of 1812. Winfield Scott professionally trained and lead his famed brigade at Chippewa where he managed to get the better of the British in a brief, but hard fought firer-fight. The book correctly dispels many of... more info

10.The Incredible War of 1812: A Military HistoryThe Incredible War of 1812: A Military History
from Robin Brass Studio
Price: $15.30

Customer Review:
This book was a good overview of the War of 1812, a critical piece of American history that, in my experience, has been virtually ignored in the curriculum of American education. The war was critical in that it defined the separation of and the border of Canada and the U.S. I picked this book from... more info
