THE STREETS WERE PAVED WITH GOLD: A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE KLONDIKE GOLD RUSH, 1896-1899
By Stan Cohen
(second hand copy in very good condition)
The Klondike Gold Rush was a migration by an estimated 100,000 prospectors to the Klondike region of the Yukon in north west Canada between 1896 and 1899.
Gold was discovered there by local miners in August 1896, and, when news reached Seattle and San Francisco the following year, it triggered a stampede of prospectors. Some became wealthy, but the vast majority went in vain and the gold trail witnessed unimaginable suffering.
