Tales Of The Alaskan Gold Rush

More about the book

DANGEROUS CAMP AT KEANI A stranger hunting and camping in the virgin lands of Alaska’s Keani Peninsula in the Gold Rush days was an open invitation to a long and tortuous death. THE WINDS OF SCAGWAY When the violent winter winds of Skagway kept the sourdoughs and everyone inside for weeks and even months at at time, there was little to do but talk to strangers and rehash the savage past of the mining camps from Alaska up to the Canadian Klondike. KLONDIKE JUSTICE Justice on the frontier of gold mining country, where there was no real law, was up to a miner’s court. This meant no trained judges or lawyers. There were only the guilty and the very few innocent.
