If you ever wondered what it must have been like for the Klondike stampeders in 1897-1898 then this video series is a must. Unfortunately, it has not aired on the History Channel in some time. The video says it all...
I am anxiously waiting on two books that I ordered:
'Klondike Quest' and 'Klondike Fever'. These should provide me with some great bedtime reading now that I have finished the wonderful tome 'Alias Soapy Smith...The Life and Death of a Scoundrel' by jeff Smith....which I highly reccommend to anyone desiring a 'real' historical account of life as it actually was in the late 19th century.
Thank you for leaving your comment and/or question on my blog. I always read, and will answer all questions asap. Please know that they are greatly appreciated. -Jeff Smith
Oh Yes...I would love to see that documentary!
