The enterprising women who ventured to the Yukon and Alaska during the many gold rushes between the 1880s and early 1900s remain relatively unknown. We're familiar with the tales of the men who swarmed the wild North Country in search of fortunes in gold, but the adventures of their female counterparts make for stories as riveting as anything Jack London concocted.
In Gold Rush Women, award-winning authors Claire Rudolf Murphy and Jane G. Haigh write about daring women such as Kate Carmack, the Tagish Native reputed to have made the first gold discovery on the Klondike River; Ethel Berry, who mined alongside her husband Clarence, becoming one of the first Northern gold rush millionaires; and Fanny Quigley, who hiked out to remote gold strikes and sold hot meals from a tent. Twenty-five lives, each unique, and each a woman to be reckoned with.
Features: Paperback. 1997. 126 pp. Many black and white photos, notes, and index. 7 x 9 in.
