This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through the Gold-Fields of Alaska to Bering Straits Had my original scheme succeeded, this work would have borne the alluring title of New York to Paris by Land a journey which, so far as I know, has never yet been accomplished, though I do not, for one moment, suggest that it never will be. My cloud, however, has its silver lining, seeing that the first part of our voyage lay through a region then known by name to perhaps a dozen white men, but now a byword throughout the civilised world: Klon dike. I may add that Harding and I were the first Europeans to reside for any length of time alone and unprotected among the Tchuktchis of Siberia. But for these facts this book might well have been entitled The Record of a Failure.' harry DE windt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Gold was discovered in the Yukon basin in 1881 on a tributary of the Lewis river, during the next few years considerable mining was done on the Hootalinqua, which flows out of Teslin' lake and into the Yukon. Since then gold has been found in paying quantities on Stewart river, Forty-mile creek, Glacier creek, Birch creek, and last but by no means least, the creeks tributary to the Klondike. Forty-mile creek is for the most part in, Alaska; the headwaters of Sixty-mile creek are also in United States territory; Miller, Glacier and Birch creeks were once thought to be in Alaska, but are now known to be in Canada, and of the wonder fully rich Klondike there has never been any doubt of its being in Can ada.

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.
