Reseña del libro "Klondike Siren Song"

In the fall and winter of 1897-98, thousands of men and women flocked to Alaska and the Yukon on their way to the Klondike gold fields. Not all of them, however, intended to look for it in the gravel bars of creeks like El Dorado and Bonanza. Some of them mined for gold; some of them mined the miners. This new historical novel brings to life the excitement, the frenzy, and the unquenchable determination of those times as its characters rub elbows with the likes of Klondike Kate, Alex Pantages, Soapy Smith, Frank Clancy, Jack London, Swiftwater Bill Gates, and the Lamore Sisters. While the tale is fiction, the book features nearly 200 historical photographs of the people and scenes it portrays. For a few brief months, the Far North was a place where fortunes could be made-and lost-overnight. "Klondike Siren Song" brings those times, and the people who experienced it, to glorious life.
