About This Book
L'auteur raconte un voyage vers les champs aurifères du Klondike, décrivant l'itinéraire depuis l'Europe via Seattle, puis Skagway, les cols du Chilkoot et White Pass, les lacs et rapides du Yukon jusqu'à Dawson. Le récit mêle récits de mer, étapes de portage, difficultés de pistes glacées, naufrages et avalanches, et les techniques d'exploration et d'exploitation des placers. Il évoque la vie des camps, la vie urbaine de Dawson — commerces, banques, journaux, police — et des portraits de pionniers, entrepreneurs et guides, tout en signalant la faune, le climat, les prix et la production aurifère, puis conclut par le retour.
