Publisher's Synopsis

The Klondike Fever: The Life And Death Of The Last Great Gold Rush is a book written by Pierre Berton. The book is a comprehensive account of the Klondike Gold Rush, which occurred in the late 19th century in the Yukon region of Canada. Berton provides a vivid description of the harsh conditions and the struggles that the gold seekers faced during their journey to the Klondike, as well as the social and economic impact of the gold rush on the region and its people. The book also covers the rise and fall of the gold rush, including the decline of the gold industry and the impact it had on the region's economy. The author uses a range of primary sources, including diaries and letters from those who lived through the gold rush. The Klondike Fever is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of the Canadian North and the gold rush era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
