Download or read book Wires in the Wilderness written by Bill Miller and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2004 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the tale of how Canada's high northern wilderness was brought into civilization's fold through a frail network of wires laboriously strung between poles and trees for hundreds of desolate miles. The Yukon Telegraph started in 1897, when gold was discovered in the Yukon and the government needed a faster way to communicate with its remote northern territory. The isolated residents, too, wanted a more reliable connection with the outside world. Bill Miller takes readers from the line's conception in 1899 to its abandonment in 1952 through to its status today and its potential for future generations, focusing on the colourful people who lived and worked in the area. His account, enhanced by extensive research and engaging storytelling, reveals a fascinating fragment of Canada's rich history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Klondyke and Yukon Guide: Alaska and Northwest Territory Gold Fields; Where They Are, How to Get There, What to Take Along, When to Go and What to Do to Secure a Claim The wonderful gold fields now known the world over as the Klon dike diggings, are situated on a branch of the Yukon river, in the Canadian Northwest Territories. 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.
