Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector unclipped. B&W illustrations throughout ; Great Stories of Canada # 5; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 147 pages; "This is the gripping story of the legendary Klondike gold rush, from 1896 when gold was discovered, to 1899 when the Nome rush began and the Klondike rush ended. It starts on the Klondike River, with George Carmack and Bob Henderson, who together are credited with the discovery of the Klondike gold. Through story and anecdote, here are the first frenzied days of the rush when miners who were close at hand found themselves in possession of fabulous riches. It took eight months for the news to reach the outside world and then the rush was really on. Across the continent and around the world men left their homes and jobs to seek gold in the Yukon."
