An amazing book writen by a photographer and journalist who was sent to the Klondike and then, apparently not actually mining, tells us about the gold rush.I have made the de rigueur Alaska cruise and had the chance to go over the pass at Skagway.What men! And a pretty peaceable lot at that,They mined for gold by hand. The book describes staking a claim, digging, panning, sluicing and extracting gold with mercury. I have always wanted to know what a gold miner back in the day really did. The book details it plus the towns and buildings, life in the Yukom and Klondike at the 19th C close.. Starvation was early on in everyone's mind....could supplies get through? The travel down the rivers, ice crushing boats, swift rapids; it is all there.True adventureProduct details

The Klondike stampede Tappan Adney 9781177922425 Books Reviews
A great historical read, an example of what we will do for riches
An excellent and incisive account
of a fascinating bit of history.After
having visited the pass and Scagway
I wanted to know more about the history
of the Klondike Gold Rush.
A well written,factual account of endurance,suffering,struggle,winning
and loss by superhuman men and women.One is hard pressed to imagine
the hardships so well enumerated in this
book that these brave souls had to endure.I was sad when the book ended.
Excellent story and well written
A very detailed look at the Klondike gold rush era from the perspective of an "embedded" journalist. Most of the book is chronologically organized as the events unfolded, other parts are more thematic such as the gold gathering techniques. It badly needed an ending to wrap up the experience and I wish that there had been an epilogue of what the journalists life returning to civilization and his follow up work. One does get a very different perspective on that era and events than from other novels or movies.
I haven't read much about the gold rush in California so I thought this might be an interesting read. It was just o.k. I was expecting more personal stories. There were a few interesting tidbits but most of the book was about the trip instead of the experience. I found myself skipping over sections. I'm glad I read it but I was hoping for more.
This was a very good book for me from the stand point that my Great Great Grandfather was there and I knew virtually nothing of what went on during the rush. It was very informative about the preparations to go to the Yukon and what the ordeal was like. The author was a newspaper reporter and writes a very good description of life on the Yukon. His detail of the crossing from Skagway, over the mountain passes and the river voyages down to Dawson are very informative. When he arrives at Dawson, he gives a very good description of Dawson and the surrounding areas. Very thorough details on how mining was done and how gold was discovered in the area. Over all, it was very interesting book and it gave me more personal insight on what my G-G- Grandfather experienced.
Written by a newspaper man sent to the Klondike to tell the folks back home what it was like. Some parts are good and informative, but too many names and expressions are thrown in with out explanation. You need a map of the area to understand much of it. It was hard to believe the author was a professional writer.
