This show was/is awesome!! I love the history. Bill Barker is such an enchanting (world class) story teller. His passion for the subject is so strong and real - guess that's why his stories come across so well. It always makes me smile and some times laugh out loud how Mike Roberts get. Classic - perfect !!!! Thank you to Bill & Mike and thank you for putting these episodes on the internet. Cheers
He was a great man loved that show watched it all the time when I lived in Oliver. I actually used to sift the old ghost town of Fairview found some old coins also sifted Blake Burn out of Princeton foing old coins.
A book named, KLONDIKE, written by Pierre Burton, Canadian author, confirms this story. Excellent book!! Yes, Jim Skookum, the Indigenous man, found the motherlode. Its all true.

Wonder what you would find with a decent metal detector, eh?
Pierre Berton's "Klondike" is a great read on the years 1886-89.
I have read "Klondike Fever" by Berton several times. Same book? And do you mean 1896-99? Superb book, great story. And this video is excellent.
His mothers book, "I Married the Klondike" is very interesting. She met her husband in the Yukon.

There's a place Australia they discovered 7 times the amount of the Klondike.
