Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Klondike: The New Gold Fields of Alaska and the Far North-West For most of them were rich, and had grown rich quickly. In every man's pocket there was a bag of virgin gold. In all this queer make-shift baggage there was more of it. It had been gathered in a wilderness where none but savages, and few of them, had ever lived, and where there will never be a farm, a factory, a college. How much wealth they carried ashore that day will never be precisely known, and already they are scattered and have been individually forgotten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from To Alaska for Gold: Or the Fortune Hunters of the Yukon The rush to the far-away territory of Alaska, when gold in large quantities was discovered upon Klondike Creek, was somewhat similar to the rush to California in years gone by. The gold fever spread to even the remotest of our hamlets, and men, young and old, poured forth, ready to endure every hardship if only the much-coveted prize might be secured. That many succeeded and that many more failed is now a matter of history, although of recent date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Treadwell Gold written by Sheila Kelly and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2010-05-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century ago, Treadwell, Alaska, was a featured stop on steamship cruises, a rich, up-to-date town that was the most prominent and proud in all Alaska. Its wealth, however, was founded on the remarkably productive gold mines on Douglas Island, and when those caved in and flooded in the early decades of the twentieth century, Treadwell sank into relative obscurity. Treadwell Gold presents first-person accounts from the sons and daughters of the miners, machinists, hoist operators, and superintendents who together dug and blasted the gold that made Treadwell rich. Alongside these stories are vintage photos that capture both the industrial vigor of the mines and the daily lives that made up Treadwell society. The book will fascinate anyone interested in Alaskan history or the romance of gold mining’s past.
