The time was August 1896. The place was Alaska.
The discovery was GOLD! During the next few years, over 80,000 people
rushed to the Klondike seeking their fortune! The
butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker -- literally anybody and everybody
-- headed to the frozen north.

You are not one to miss an opportunity. As a journalist,
you dream of gaining fame by researching and reporting about the
Klondike Goldrush. As an adventurer, you want to experience the excitement
firsthand. As an entrepreneur, you consider not just reporting the
news, but starting a newspaper in this heretofore, unpopulated land called
Alaska.
|
Quickly, you ask three fellow journalists to come with you to this frozen land of fame and fortune.
The four of you board a ship in Seattle and head to Skagway, Alaska. When you arrive, you begin your research
and reporting. Who, What, When, Where, Why and How are your guiding
questions about the Klondike Goldrush.
