1896: Klondike Gold Rush

August 16, 1896, the explorer found gold on the banks of the Bonanza River in the Klondike region of the Yukon, Canada. Over six months, more than 100,000 promising Canadians and immigrants tried to reach these monetary gold mines through the so-called Klondike gold rush. The Klondike river is a very difficult area to reach and it is even more difficult to mining. You can only access this area through steep mountains and the frozen passage of the rapids of the Yukon River. Since hardships to the gold were very dangerous, the Canadian government forced all potential miners to force supply of food and other supplies for at least one year before entering the area. Once you enter Klondike, it is almost impossible for explorers to deal with mining of frozen streams and permafrost. It is rich in gold and continues to be mined in this area, but there are few prospects who have become rich in Klondike Gold Rush. At the turn of the century, people refute the unpopular thoughts using the phrase "Oh, go to Klondike!"

In North America there are other Klondike gold rushes in Yukon, Canada in 1896, but there is no historical and culturally important thing like California Gold Rush. An average of 76 tons of gold per year will be produced. By the end of the 1950's, it was estimated that worth $ 550 million worth of gold was mined - today's dollar is about $ 187 billion. Gold Rush has promoted massive expansion and settlement in the western United States. In the last few years of the gold rush, only 2,700 colonists arrived in California. By 1854 more than 300,000 settlers settled there. Among them are many colonists from other countries, settlers from Australia and China.

Due to the discovery of gold in the Yukon area in 1896, a runaway occurred in the Klondike region between 1897 and 1899. This led to the establishment of Dawson City (1896) and the subsequent Yukon (1898). Klondike's Gold Rush not only made the image of the northern populace barren but also left a series of literary works that spread Yukon and made it romantic. Searching for money with Yukon began when several prospectors arrived in 1874. These include Arthur Harper, Al Mayo, Jack Maxtens (former Irish immigrants, the latter Americans). These three people became traders because they were unable to make a living as an explorer. These people encourage, promote and provide a new exploration community that is developing slowly before the gold rush.

It was estimated that Klondike Gold Rush moved 100,000 prospects from 1896 to 1899 to the Klondike region of the Yukon in northwest Canada. Francis caught explorer reconnaissance on August 16, 1896, as local miner workers discovered the money there and reported that it was transferred to Seattle and the sacred place. Some people become rich, but most people are useless. It is immortal in photos, books, movies, artifacts. In order to reach the gold mine, most people pass through Diamond Port and Skagwayway Port in southeastern Alaska. Here, Klondike can proceed toward the Klondike River following the Chilquoot or White Path Trail to the Yulukon River. Each of them was ordered by the Canadian authorities to provide a one-year food supply to prevent starvation. In a nutshell, their equipment weighs nearly 1 ton, and most people have to do it themselves step by step.
