First, I like calling Native Americans by the Canadian term First Nations. It is respectful and immediately notifies readers of who were first on the land. Second, this is a trim little book with lots of information. The photos and maps added so much to the discussion at hand. Amazingly, the Klondike Stampede only lasted two years; however, it created one of the fastest migrations in North American history.

Although short, this book was so entertaining that I read it in one sitting -- and wanted more. Fortunately, I've already read some of the materials listed for further study. This is a great story.
