Josephine Knowles Bücher

When Josephine Knowles left for the Klondike gold fields with her husband in 1898, she didn't know she would be facing a constant battle with cold, disease, malnutrition, and the ever-present possibility of death. Gold rush in the Klondike is Knowles' true story of her year in the Yukon territory, a revealing, never before published personal memoir of day-to-day life at the height of the Klondike Gold Rush. Knowles adventures include encounters with author Jack London (Knowles firmly disapproved of London's cruel mistreatment of his dogs), nursing miners during a typhoid outbreak until she fell ill herself, witnessing savage fights among miners, dangerous travel through the mountain passes and river rapids of the Yukon, and a daring surreptitious visit to a gambling saloon.
