Klondike: A Manual for Goldseekers

Klondike: A Manual for Goldseekers by Charles A. Bramble first published in 1897. This book includes 12 drawings and 3 maps used as illustrations. Depict the everyday activities of miners en route to and working in the gold fields during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897. The discovery of gold in 1896 triggered the Klondike Gold Rush, which lasted until 1899. In a four-year period, more than 100,000 men and women set out for the gold fields of the Yukon in hopes of striking it rich. This book was meant to serve as a how-to manual for those seeking gold, and it outlined the most popular routes to the gold fields. The prospector is the pioneer in the work of mineral development. He is the pathfinder to hidden wealth. His part is wholly initiative; his role is at an end almost invariably with the establishment of a fixed value on his "find."
