In August of 1896, on a small branch of the Klondike River, three men discovered what would prove to be the largest concentration of gold ever found. Several hundred other miners were quick to stake their claims and share in the discovery but then winter set in, closing all the routes to and from the Klondike region. It was not until the following year that news of their discovery would reach the world. And when it did, thousands of men and women sold all their earthly possessions and headed north to seek their fortunes. Size: 8vo. Book.
