The Streets Were Paved with Gold a Pictorial History of the Klondike Gold Rush 1896

Missoula, Montana: Pictorial Histories Publishing Co, 1977. Revised Edition; Sixth Printing. Paperback. ISBN: 0933126034. Light wear to extremities. Previous owner's name on fly leaf. ; A bright, solid book.; Trade PB; B&W Illustrations; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 202 pages; The Klondike Gold Rush, was a frenzy of gold rush immigration to and for gold prospecting, along the Klondike River near Dawson City, Yukon, Canada after gold was discovered there in the late 19th century and generally considered to be the greatest Gold Rush in North America's history. It compares scenes of the gold rush period with the same scenes today with Maps, illustrations, photographs, bibliography, There are many old black and white photos of this rip-roaring time, illustrating the hardships and difficulties for gold prospecting, along the Klondike River. In 1896, a party led by Keish (Skookum Jim Mason), a member of the Tagish First Nations, headed north, down the Yukon River from the Carcross area, looking for his sister Kate and her husband George Carmack. The party consisted of Skookum Jim, his cousin, known as Dawson Charlie, and his nephew. After meeting up with George and Kate, who were fishing for salmon at the mouth of the Klondike River, they ran into Nova Scotian Robert Henderson who had been mining gold on the Indian River, just south of the big dike. August 16, 1896, the Skookum party discovered rich placer gold deposits in Bonanza (Rabbit) Creek, Yukon. It is not clear who made the actual discovery, with some accounts saying that it was Kate Carmack, while others credit Skookum Jim. George Carmack was officially credited for the gold discovery because the actual claim was staked in his name. The group agreed to this because they felt that other miners would be reluctant to recognize a claim made by an Indian, given the strong racist attitudes of the time.. Very Good .
