The Klondike Gold Rush

64 pp. | Watts | July, 1998 | Library ISBN 0-531-20360-3 $$22.00
(4) 4-6 First Book series. Largely a bust for all but a lucky few of the 100,000 who rushed to the Klondike region in 1896, the Klondike Gold Rush created a subculture of amateur prospectors almost overnight. This informative, loosely organized account examines this makeshift society--how people lived there, searched for gold, and coped with the inflated economics. Small color maps and black-and-white photos supplement the text. Bib., ind.
