What Was the Klondike Gold Rush?

Shout that "Kim! Kim! With Klondike!"! A short and fascinating adventure in Yukon and Alaska has since attracted people's imagination all over the world. In August 1896, when Skookum Jim Mason, Dawson Charlie, George Washington Carmack discovered gold in the tributaries of the Klondike River in the Yukon province of Canada, they knew that they would explode one of the biggest gold surges in history did not. Since 1897, a group of hopeful gold believers noticed that most of Klondike's profit was shelved, boarded a ship in Seattle and other Pacific port cities, and headed for the North's wealth vision There was not.

During the summer, from 1897 to the winter of 1998, the trample was poured into the newly built Alaska tent, Skagway and Diamond Town - trekking 600 miles long to the starting point of the gold mine

Skagway is located at the beginning of the White Path Trail and was founded by the captain of former Steamboat named William Moore. His small house drowned about 10,000 temporary inhabitants who worked hard to get the necessary tools and supplies upstream of Lindeman and the coastal mountains of Bennett Lake and the Yukon River. Dyea, three miles from the head of Taiya Inlet, experienced the same crazy new city incident as the golden people landed and traveled to Canada along the Chilkoot Trail.

Trample encountered the greatest difficulty in DIY 's Chilcout Trail and Skagway' s White Path Trail. Murder and suicide, illness and malnutrition, and death from avalanches, and even hypothermia due to hypothermia. Because packaged animals can not be easily used on steep slopes leading to a passage, Chilquoot Trail is the most harsh for men. Before the tram was built in 1897 and early 1898, the tram had to carry everything. The white channel trail is an animal killer, because uneasy explorers overwhelm packaged animals and forcibly force them to cross the rocky terrain until they fall. More than 3,000 animals die on this road; many of their bones are still at the bottom of the Dead Horse Gulch

In the first year of a hurry, an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 gold seekers filled their clothes and then spent an average of three months passing through a passage to the lake. The distance from the tide to the lake is about 35 miles, but everyone makes hundreds of miles back and forth along the way and moves the equipment from the cache to the cache. After the explorers towed the set of equipment to the lake, they built or purchased the remaining 560 miles downstream Dawson mine and the Klondike mine floating boat.

By midsummer of 1898, Dawson had 18,000 people, more than 5000 of which were excavated. By August, many steppers are already home and most of them are going bankrupt. After discovering gold in Alaska gnome, the second year of mining workers rushed. A wonderful Klondike gold rush began to end suddenly. Towns such as Dawson City and Skagway have begun to decline. Other people including the diamond completely disappeared, leaving only memories that many consider as the last great adventure of the 19th century.

The last "big gold rush" was the Klondike gold rush of the Yukon in Canada (1896 - 1999). This gold rush is immortal in Jack London novels and Charlie Chaplin's film "Gold Rush". Robert William service is full of talent in his poetry, especially in the 1998 trail of the trail, depicting the dramatic events of the gold rush. The main gold mine, south of the Klondike River, is located near the confluence of the Yukon River near Dawson City, Canada Yukon, to open up the United States of a relatively new Alaska of land for exploration Also useful. And solved and promoted the discovery of other gold discoveries

This story took place during the Klondike Gold Rush which began in 1897. This was in the Sutter mill in California for nearly half a century since the first North American gold rush. The Klondike river is a tributary of the Yukon River passing through the corner of the Yukon region in northwestern Canada. By 1898, it gathered promising miners tens of thousands of people in the region, mainly arrived in Skagway, Alaska, also runs hundreds of miles along the sidewalk, I went in and then boat to around Canada Dawson Creek gold mine It was. . Many miner workers are not ready for physical and emotional preparation to deal with the situation they encounter. Many people lost their packaging animals, their wealth, and even their lives. Only about one-third of the people who were starting to Klondike River finish the journey - but Klondike King became very wealthy, most of the miners were very disappointed.
