Re-live the excitement of the boom to bust days of the Klondike Gold Rush. Popular Yukon recording artist "Klondike Mike" takes listeners on a rollicking journey to the Goldfields of Dawson City.
You''ll feel the urgency of thousands of goldrush stampeders as they strain to carry 2000 pould of supplies up the Chilkoot Pass fueled by a "thirst for gold" that lies burried in chte creek beds near Dawson City.
You will come to understand the importance of the sled dog whose courage saved many a miner''s life. You''ll get to know the miners, the poets, the Mounties, the dance hall girls, the "highrollers" and the "lowlifes" who left their footprints on the North more than 100 years ago.
Enjoy the journey hiking the Chilkoot mountains. building a raft, paddling 400 miles along the Yukon River to Dawson City staking a claim, finding gold, spending and losing a fortune and finally building the most treacherous yet ingenius narrow gauge railroad in engineering history from Skagway Alaska to Whitehorse Yukon, the White Pass Railway.
Singer, songwriter, sougdough, historian and storyteller, Klondike Mike gives his audience a lasting memory of the Yukon/Alaska trail. Many of his original songs feature the style and rhyming scheme of the famous Yukon poet, Robert Service.
