Gold Rush (4h 1min, jan 1, 1897 y – 13h 56min, dec 31, 1899 y)
Description:
The discovery of gold in the Yukon which was in 1896 led to a stampede to the Klondike region between 1897 to 1899. This took a start to the establishment of Dawson City (1896) and eventually, the Yukon Territory (1898). The Klondike gold rush solidified the public’s image of the North as more than a barren wasteland and left a body of literature that has publicized and romanticized the Yukon.
