This review is from: Klondike Women: True Tales Of 1897-1898 Gold Rush (Paperback)

I really loved this book. I bought it in conjunction with a research project about Nellie Cashman, longtime resident of Arizona and one of American's earliest female mining experts. The details about the trials and tribulations of these people (women and men) are extrodinary. The author has really done her homework. She tries to tell the story of the Klondike by illustrating the trails with diary entries, personal accounts and contemporary pictures. I think she succeeds in doing just that and more. I recommend this book to anyone interested in Western history, in Mining history or even in Women's Studies.

GOOD BOOK! BUY ME NOW! :)

This book was very helpful in researching family genealogy of the Klondike area. I was searching for the maternal aunt of a Southern California pioneer who became rich and famous.
