If you have any interest in the gold rush to the Yukon in the 1890s then this is a great book to read. It was written by a newspaper man sent to document the Klondike stampede and he has a definite journalistic bent. It is full of interesting anecdotes and lots of hard facts, including lots of data on the amount of gold discovered and its value. If you want to read some history from someone who was there, this is a great choice, and since it is in the public domain, free copies are readily available at Google Books and elsewhere.

This classic in Yukon gold rush literature was originally published in 1900 and has long been out of print. Tappan Adney, a New York journalist, was dispatched to the Yukon in 1897, at the height of the gold fever, to "furnish news and pictures of the new gold fields." The pages contain excellent descriptions of the people, places, events, and experiences of the Klondike stampede. Adney was not only a good writer, he was also an accomplished photographer, and there are over 150 photographs and drawings in the text, adding an important visual dimension to the book.
