The Golden Trail: The Story of the Klondike Rush: Is the exciting story of the Klondike gold rush of 1896. Written by Pierre Berton, a revered Canadian historian, it tells a gripping tale of unbelievable hardship and superhuman effort. Through the story and anecdote, Pierre Berton passionately describes the fever that overcame usually sane men as word got out about the original discovery; the first wild days of the gold rush, when men left their jobs and loved ones in the quest for Yukon gold; the misery of these same men as they struggled up the brutal White and Chilkoot passes; the unbelievably hard work required by prospectors to work their claims; and the fortunes won and lost on the streets and in the saloons of Dawson City.
