Klondike
: The Last Great Gold Rush, 1896-1899
by Pierre Berton
Book Description:
With the building of the railroad and the settlement of the plains,
the North West was opening up. The Klondike stampede was a wild interlude
in the epic story of western development, and here are its dramatic tales
of hardship, heroism, and villainy. We meet Soapy Smith, dictator of Skagway;
Swiftwater Bill Gates, who bathed in champagne; Silent Sam Bonnifield,
who lost and won back a hotel in a poker game; and Roddy Connors, who danced
away a fortune at a dollar a dance. We meet dance-hall queens, paupers
turned millionaires, missionaries and entrepreneurs, and legendary Mounties
such as Sam Steele, the Lion of the Yukon.
Pierre Berton's riveting account reveals to us the spectacle of the
Chilkoot Pass, and the terrors of lesser-known trails through the swamps
of British Columbia, across the glaciers of souther Alaska, and up the
icy streams of the Mackenzie Mountains. It contrasts the lawless frontier
life on the American side of the border to the relative safety of Dawson
City. Winner of the Governor General's award for non-fiction, Klondike
is authentic history and grand entertainment, and a must-read for anyone
interested in the Canadian frontier.
