Gold Rush Trail, Then & Now (Klondike Gold Rush, Chilkoot Trail, Yukon, Canada, Skagway, Dawson)

Gold seekers took six back-breaking months to travel from Skagway to Dawson City. A year after gold was found, news reached the outside when a ton of gold was dumped on a Seattle dock! Twenty thousand spent the winter of 1897/98 at the base of Chilkoot and White Passes waiting for Spring. Feel the aches as each prospector carries one ton of supplies in 20 trips up the Chilkoot trail. Wonder at rare historic photos including motion pictures taken by an Edison crew. See Lake Bennett where 28,000 waited for breakup to launch thousands of craft to the gold fields. Released in 1993. Run Time: 30:22
