The lure of riches from the gold rush of 1897 was too strong for Terry Brandon to resist. So he quites his job, leaves his fiance' behind and starts a journey that will take him to the land of the NORTHERN LIGHTS. Aboard the sternwheeler Ohio Belle, Terry is befriended by Milton Conrad, the son of a wealthy merchant and an old sourdough Bob Saunderson. Terry also meets Annie and George O'Connel who will be a part of his adventures as they all travel in search of gold. At Dyea they debark, Saunderson to head to his cabin and Milt and Terry begin their quest for riches. After two of Soapy Smiths men attack Milton, he and Brandon must wait until Milton is healed up before continuing on. Once back on their journey, the two Cheechako's arrive at Sheep Camp where during the night a flash flood nearly destroys all their equipment. They are able to buy the outfit of another fortune seeker who is giving up. After a long arduous trip down rivers, lakes and rapids, Brandon and Milton set ashore on a small island at the mouth of the Stewart River. Following months of living in an old abandoned cabin, it's time to go into Dawson to be among other people. What fate awaits Brandon and Conrad in Dawson? BY FLARE OF NORTHERN LIGHTS is a WONDERFUL adventure story well worth reading. I WILL be reading more books by Tim Champlin.
