It starts on the Klondike River, with George Carmack and Bob Henderson, who together are credited with the discovery of the Klondike gold. Through story and anecdote, here are the first frenzied days of the rush when miners who were close at hand found themselves in possession of fabulous riches. It took eight months for the news to reach the outside world and then the rush was really on. Across the continent and around the world men left their homes and jobs to seek gold in the Yukon." .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
