Synopsis "Klondike Gamblers: The Gold Rush of 1896"

The Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s drew gamblers of all stripes - professional gamblers, con men, shady ladies, and some business buccaneers. All were gamblers-bucking the odds, betting all they had and even their very lives The Klondike Gold Rush was the last vestiges of the Old West, replete with the blood lust for gold, chicanery, betrayal, and gun fights. Instead of dust storms and desert conditions, the saga played out in the frozen North West. Klondike Gamblers follows the hordes of people that flooded to the Alaskan ports of Skagway and Dyea to start the treacherous journey to the Yukon River valley in the Klondike region of Canada. Stories of notable gamblers, both men and women, provide the main body of the book. A few were good, some were bad and some were downright ugly.
