The Klondike Gold Rush was a migration by some 100,000 prospectors to the Klondike region of the present Yukon Territory, in north-western Canada. Gold was discovered there by local miners on August 16th, 1896; with the news eventually reaching Seattle and San Francisco the following year.
This triggered a proverbial stampede of prospectors. Some became wealthy, but the majority travelled North in vain. To accommodate this sudden mass of humanity, boom towns sprang up along the routes. The most notable being Dawson City.
The wealthiest prospectors spent extravagantly, gambling and drinking in Dawson's saloons. On the other hand, the indigenous people of the area, suffered from the rush.
Like, the Wild West, the Klondike has been immortalized in films, literature, and photographs.
On this first episode in a three part series, the Hungry Historian will tell you about the early years of the gold rush and the routes taken by the prospectors in order to reach the gold fields in the Yukon.
As a featured recipe, Chef Money is coming at you with a recipe fit for a prospector after a day of panning the creeks for his pay dirt - Pan Seared Trout with Wild Rice Pilaf and Mixed Greens.
