Just like no one can agree on exactly how the Klondike Gold Rush
started, how and when the stampede ended is also the topic of
fierce dispute. We wrap up the podcast with a look at this debate,
clean up a few errors we made along the way, and let you know what
happened to our favourite ... and not so favourite ... characters
after they left the Yukon.

What do Harrison Ford, Charlie Chaplin and Bugs Bunny have in

The Mountie is one of the iconic images of the Klondike Gold Rush,
whether in red serge in Dawson or behind a dogsled on a rugged
Yukon patrol. We'll talk about the feats that made the reputation
of the North-West Mounted Police in the Yukon, and their
complicated relationship with First Nations. And we'll get to know
Sam Steele, who some call the quintessential Canadian man of action
in the Victorian era.

The gold rush is at its peak. Just a year ago, Dawson was a moose
pasture with a few cabins. Now it has dance halls, Parisian
fashions, electricity, running water and a restaurant where you
could eat pâté de foie gras while listening to a string orchestra.
And it has stories, tons of stories. Some true, some not so much.
We'll share some of them which, factual or not, will give you a
feel for Dawson's brilliant but brief spell as the Paris of the
North.

Getting to the Klondike was just the start of your mining
adventure. Next, you had to learn how to get the gold out of the
frozen muck under your feet. The Sourdoughs had developed a huge
range of ingenious techniques from rockers to sluice boxes to steam
points. But they all had one thing in common: back-breaking manual
labour.

Über diesen Podcast
A new podcast aiming to bring you the epic stories of the Klondike
Gold Rush in an easy-to-listen narrative over about 25 episodes.
That's about as much time as it takes to travel the Trail of 1898
from Dyea to Dawson, in your podcast equipped car not by mule, boat
or dogsled of course! This podcast is a labour of love by two
Yukoners with a passion for local history. Pascale Halliday and
Keith Halliday do most of the narrating, with guest appearances by
other Yukoners and Alaskans.
