About this book
When gold was discovered in the Yukon in 1896, it sparked a stampede of people desperate to strike it rich. The Golden Trail follows the thousands who abandoned their jobs and families to make the dangerous journey north, facing frozen mountain passes and grueling work in their search for fortune. Pierre Berton chronicles the incredible hardships and human drama of those who arrived in Dawson City, where fortunes were won and lost on the frozen streets of the Klondike gold rush.
