Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Klondike: A Manual for Goldseekers
The first discovery Of gold on the Klondike was made in the middle Of August, 1896, by George Cormack.
The only way heretofore into and out of the Klondike in winter has been by way of Juneau.
The best way to live is to imitate the Indians in dress and habit. It is useless to wear leather or gum boots. Good moccasins are absolutely necessary.
The colder it is the better the traveling. When it is very cold there is no wind; and the wind is hard to bear.
Indian guides are necessary to go ahead of the dogs and prepare the camp for night. In the summer the sun rises early and sets late and there are only a few hours when it is not shining directly on Alaska. In the winter the sun shines for a short time only each day.
