"Well-researched and well-designed books like this remind us of exactly what gave rise to the persistent Klondike legends of today."

— Quill & Quire, August 2001

"Through a comfortable combination of fiction and nonfiction, this book presents the life of a young miner during the Klondike gold rush between 1897 and 1899. Between sections of the story are pages discussing everything from the supplies needed for the trip to gambling in the town of Dawson to methods of mining and panning for gold. In addition to period photographs, excellent shaded pencil drawings appear throughout the book."
