Description

No aspect of this harrowing journey was once more difficult–or deadly–than the trek over the Chilkoot Trail: a fifty-three kilometre journey over the coastal mountains from the tidewaters of Alaska, through British Columbia to the headwaters of the Yukon River. But even before the gold rush, the trail was once a very powerful First Nations trade and shuttle route, joining the Tlingit of the coast with the First Nations of the interior. As of late the Chilkoot Trail draws hikers from world wide who wish to experience the area’s natural beauty and soak up its wealthy history. In “Chilkoot Trail: Heritage Route to the Klondike,” two historians–one from every side of the border–give readers the feeling of what life was once like at the trail before, all through and after the great Klondike gold rush.
