Bøger af Sarah Fell

More than one woman ventured alone to the great Alaskan north during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s. Sarah Fell was one them. She did not find gold but nevertheless made a good living for herself through perseverance and resourcefulness. Lucky for us, she left us this volume full of stories, facts about prices in the gold rush, and how she made her way. "I have seen strong men in middle life sit down and cry as the loneliness and desolation of it all swept over their souls; women are more enduring than men and with equal hardships kept in better cheer." Shipping out of Seattle with a year's supply of goods, Sarah was admittedly caught up in the "gold fever" of the day and looking for a way out of debt. Like most prospectors, she would not realize her dreams of striking it rich. But she did gain a wealth of experiences that she shares with us in this slim volume. Available for the first time in an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers, you can find out how Sarah met with the obstacles and opportunities thrown her way in 1897.
