William Shape
Introduction by Lee Laney William Shape’s dramatic journal and accompanying photographs give a human dimension to the journey undertaken by vast hordes of prospectors who headed north during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s. This previously unpublished diary was compiled by a man with a keen photographer’s eye and an author’s attention to detail.

Slick as a Mitten (Paperback)
Ezra Meeker's Klondike Enterprise
Dennis Larsen
Ezra Meeker braved the Oregon Trail in 1852 and accumulated a fortune in the Puyallup hop-growing business. Suddenly, at the dawn of the new century, he lost his wealth, and despite his advanced age, ventured to Alaska and the treacherous Klondike. Four years of letters, most from Ezra to his beloved wife Eliza Jane, relay the details of his risky scheme to transport and sell 100 tons of groceries to Yukon gold miners.

Unsettled Boundaries (Paperback)
Fraser Gold and the British-American Northwest
Robert E. Ficken
In 1858, thousands of optimistic prospectors crossed into British territory, hoping to strike gold. Faced with brutal weather and a lack of supplies, most returned later that same year. Even so, mining continued until simple fur trading posts were transformed into civilization, making the Fraser River experience one of the major developments in Pacific Northwest history.
