Here is the inside story leading up to Carmack's big discovery and his lifelong quest for gold, that remained with him long after he left Alaska and the Yukon.

About the Author
The late James ""Al"" Johnson literally stumbled over an apple box full of George Carmack's letters in the loft of a used bookstore. His amazing discovery inspired Johnson to take writing courses while conducting further reseach on Carmack. Thirty years later he published this biography of George Carmack.
