The Klondike Gold Rush
Details
The Klondike Gold Rush of 1896–1899 was one of the most dramatic episodes in North American history. Beginning with the discovery of gold on Bonanza Creek, it drew an estimated 100,000 prospectors northward, braving treacherous trails, brutal winters and staggering hardships. While only a fraction struck it rich, the event transformed the Yukon, turning Dawson City into a bustling frontier town and bringing in violent conflict, RCMP law enforcement and commercial development.
