The Klondike Fever: The Life and Death of the Last Great Gold Rush
Autor Pierre Bertonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 dec 2003
In
1897
a
grimy
steamer
docked
in
Seattle
and
set
into
epic
motion
the
incredible
succession
of
events
that
Pierre
Berton's
exhilarating
The
Klondike
Fever
chronicles
in
all
its
splendid
and
astonishing
folly.
For
the
steamer
Portland
bore
two
tons
of
pure
Klondike
gold.
And
immediately,
the
stampede
north
to
Alaska
began.
Easily
as
many
as
100,000
adventurers,
dreamers,
and
would-be
miners
from
all
over
the
world
struck
out
for
the
remote,
isolated
gold
fields
in
the
Klondike
Valley,
most
of
them
in
total
ignorance
of
the
long,
harsh
Alaskan
winters
and
the
territory's
indomitable
terrain.
Less
than
a
third
of
that
number
would
complete
the
enormously
arduous
mountain
journey
to
their
destination.
Some
would
strike
gold.
Berton's
story
belongs
less
to
the
few
who
would
make
their
fortunes
than
to
the
many
swept
up
in
the
gold
mania,
to
often
unfortunate
effects
and
tragic
ends.
It
is
a
story
of
cold
skies
and
avalanches,
of
con
men
and
gamblers
and
dance
hall
girls,
of
sunken
ships,
of
suicides,
of
dead
horses
and
desperate
men,
of
grizzly
old
miners
and
millionaires,
of
the
land
—
its
exploitation
and
revenge.
It
is
a
story
of
the
human
capacity
to
dream,
and
to
endure.
