It is very hard to review this book as it is so full of excesses that it seems almost unbelievable that such events really happened. So many times I wanted to say to the characters described in this book, "No! Don't do it that way."
In fact, I found the history to Klondike Gold Rush almost disturbing, which is probably why it took me so long to read it. I would read portions of a chapter and then put it down to pursue another book for awhile.
In fact, the author describes one character, who lived many years after the rush and had many adventures, saying that Hollywood would never make a movie about him as no one would ever believe it.
I guess that is the best description of the Klondike Gold Rush - no one would ever believe it.
