THE KLONDIKE NUGGET, Dawson, Y. T., Dec. 16, 1899
* The Klondike/Yukon Gold rush era
A very rare newspaper from the Yukon Territory during the period of the Klondike Gold Rush (see the web for more details).
When gold was discovered in 1896 a stampede of prospectors headed to this region and spurred an entirely new era of romance of the West, the quest for gold, and the many hardships which caused the hopes of wealth to be dashed by many who made the arduous trek to this harsh & desolate region of North America.
Although this issue has various mining-related reports and advertisements, there is other news of the day as well.
Complete in 8 pages, 11 by 17 inches, never bound nor trimmed so it folds out to one larger sheet, printed on high quality newsprint, nice condition.
