The Klondike Quest: A Photographic Essay...
An epic book that captures a heroic era.
This magnificent book celebrates the 100th anniversary of the famous Klondike gold rush, and includes 200 rare period photographs. Written by best-selling author and social historian Pierre Berton, the pages brim with the life-and-death struggles, hopes, delusions, and astonishing courage of the men and women who left the comforts of civilization to brave the elements and each other in their quest for gold.
They came from all walks of life -- from educated professionals to itinerant laborers -- but the vast terrain, harsh conditions and knife-edge existence put every Klondiker on the same level.
The stunning archival photographs provide an unforgettable window into the past.
