Really didn't care for how it was written. Interesting, but not what all I thought it was going to be.

For those of you who don’t know much about the Klondike gold rush this book will surely enlighten you. Those people did endure untold odds and great peril in their attempts to reach for a Dream of financial independence.

Someone once said, "You can tell a book by it's cover." You can also tell a book by the research done by the author to place his or her reader into the action of the time. William Henry Pope, W.H.P. Jarvis, pulls you into the moment, and then pushes you forward as he shares the adventurous tale of those earlier explorers.

I enjoyed this book. Also gained some insight into the Klondike . This story surrounding the young woman was fascinating .
