Beskrivelse af The Klondike Fever
The Klondike Fever: The Life And Death Of The Last Great Gold Rush is a historical non-fiction book written by Canadian author Pierre Berton. The book provides a detailed account of the Klondike Gold Rush of 1896-1899, which took place in the Yukon Territory of Canada and Alaska. Berton describes the harsh conditions that the gold seekers faced, including the treacherous journey through the Chilkoot Pass, the extreme cold, and the lack of food and supplies. He also delves into the social and economic impact of the gold rush on the region and the people who lived there. The book includes personal accounts from some of the gold seekers, as well as from the Indigenous people who were affected by the influx of outsiders. Berton also explores the role of the media in creating the hype around the gold rush and the impact it had on the people who were drawn to the region. Overall, The Klondike Fever provides a comprehensive and engaging look at one of the most significant events in Canadian history, and it is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the gold rush era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
