Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Klondike Official Guide: Canada's Great Gold Field, the Yukon District Very few places have attracted the attention of the world to the same extent as that fraction of the Yukon District of the Dominion of Canada known as Klondike, This interest was aroused within the past few months, and has grown so vastly that scores of thousands are directing their gaze thitherwards, hopeful of fortune and happiness. That the fullest information be accorded all so inclined, the Hon., The Minister of the Interior, directed that a hand book containing the completest possible information be issued as soon as practicable. Naturally this task fell to myself, as I had been more, associated with that region than any other Canadian official. The work was commenced about the middle of December last, a few days after my return thence; and when it is considered that maps had specially to be prepared, photographs selected and put in shape for reproduction, besides much original matter written, and many previous reports by others and myself read, and extracts bearing on that district made, put in order, and connected in an intelligible way with the recent matter, it can be understood why in some respects this book is not as furnished as I would like, more especially when we recollect that most of the work fell to myself, as my notes taken in the field as they were, often when my fingers were benumbed with cold and my senses almost paralyzed with long exposure to fierce wintry winds on the bleak mountain tops, were only decipherable by myself, and there was no time to transcribe them into legible hand. Taken as a whole, I venture to hope the book will ll a great gap, though there may be a few places left unstopped. These, however, can be readily filled by those inclined to think for themselves. The extracts from previous reports have been revised and extended to what was known at time of writing; so, if reference is made to those reports, differences will be found. The recent part is as full as I thought it necessary to make it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: With the building of the railroad and the settlement of the plains, the North West was opening up. The Klondike stampede was a wild interlude in the epic story of western development, and here are its dramatic tales of hardship, heroism, and villainy. We meet Soapy Smith, dictator of Skagway; Swiftwater Bill Gates, who bathed in champagne; Silent Sam Bonnifield, who lost and won back a hotel in a poker game; and Roddy Connors, who danced away a fortune at a dollar a dance. We meet dance-hall queens, paupers turned millionaires, missionaries and entrepreneurs, and legendary Mounties such as Sam Steele, the Lion of the Yukon. Pierre Berton's riveting account reveals to us the spectacle of the Chilkoot Pass, and the terrors of lesser-known trails through the swamps of British Columbia, across the glaciers of souther Alaska, and up the icy streams of the Mackenzie Mountains. It contrasts the lawless frontier life on the American side of the border to the relative safety of Dawson City. Winner of the Governor General's award for non-fiction, Klondike is authentic history and grand entertainment, and a must-read for anyone interested in the Canadian frontier.
