I recommend first reading Pierre Berton's book about the Klondike Gold Rush to get an excellent and accurate overview of what happened.

Then read Tappan Adney's book to get lots of wonderful details about everything concerning the stampeder's life. Details such as how big his log cabin was, what was in it, how he lived, and so forth -- the interesting details of the gold rush and the stampeder's life. Also included are some of Adney's photos of the gold rush.

What a great book! I am anxious to read it a second and third time. I really felt like I had been in the Klondike during the stampede after reading this book. At the very least, I now have a second hand knowledge about the experiences that the sourdoughs went through.

We ordered 2 of these as gifts, but returned them after deciding the print was too difficult to read and the pictures were, well, just smudges. M husband had taken a "look inside" before ordering, and thought it looked ok on line, but it is not. We have a copy of the republication of the book, and it has great pictures. Maybe if we didn't have the republished book, these reproductions would have been ok. But just can't live with these poor copies.
