Book excerpt: "A Klondike Claim" is an early American "dime novel" published in 1897 by Street & Smith Publishers of New York. It introduces athletic, clever, handsome Harvey Stokes, a college grad who was more interested in athletics than scholarship and is now traveling the world. He seems to have an aptitude for detective work and this is put to the test with three different cases in the one story. The book is set against a backdrop of Alaska (or at least what a writer in New York thought would pass for Alaska) during the height of the Klondike gold rush.

Excerpt: ...as the best trained horses would have done, and the sled slewed in followmg. They were going at such speed that it would have been impossilbe for the sled to make the turn without slewing more or less, and so smooth was the surface that the sled swung around in a half circle. ' Just too late, Stokes saw that there was an innnense fissure, or crack, in the ice a few feet beyond the bowlder. It was impossible to prevent the sled from going as far as the edge of that fissure, and Stokes made a wild effort to leap. It was too late everi for that. Amorak had conducted his flight with splendid shrewdness. ' I-Ie had led the team of dogs to just that point in the hope of accomplishing this very thing, knowing as he did that the sled would slew and carry his pursuer over the edge of the fissure. It was all over in a second. Stokes, half rising, felt the sled suddenly give way, and down he went, his weight and that of the sled dragging the entire team of dogs after him. ' CHAPTER XVIII. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GLACIER. As they went, man and dogs making frantic efforts to clutch at the edge of the ice, he had a glimpse of an evil face looking down at him. Amorak had run from the bowlder to the edge of the fissure, and was completing the catastrophe by pushing over the two dogs that led the team, and who would have been dragged over in any case. Usually, to fall into the fissure of a glacier means certain death, for these cracks are exceedingly deep, and the chances are that he who falls in will be ground to pulp by the movement of the vast river of ice upon the stony bed below. It was Amorak himself who saved Stokes' life. By pushing the leading dogs over the edge he sent them down faster than the others in the team, so that they landed on...

Book excerpt: With the building of the railroad and the settlement of the plains, the North West was opening up. The Klondike stampede was a wild interlude in the epic story of western development, and here are its dramatic tales of hardship, heroism, and villainy. We meet Soapy Smith, dictator of Skagway; Swiftwater Bill Gates, who bathed in champagne; Silent Sam Bonnifield, who lost and won back a hotel in a poker game; and Roddy Connors, who danced away a fortune at a dollar a dance. We meet dance-hall queens, paupers turned millionaires, missionaries and entrepreneurs, and legendary Mounties such as Sam Steele, the Lion of the Yukon. Pierre Berton's riveting account reveals to us the spectacle of the Chilkoot Pass, and the terrors of lesser-known trails through the swamps of British Columbia, across the glaciers of souther Alaska, and up the icy streams of the Mackenzie Mountains. It contrasts the lawless frontier life on the American side of the border to the relative safety of Dawson City. Winner of the Governor General's award for non-fiction, Klondike is authentic history and grand entertainment, and a must-read for anyone interested in the Canadian frontier.

Book excerpt: It's the spring of 1898 and Dawson, Yukon Territory, is the most exciting town in North America. The great Klondike Gold Rush is in full swing, and Fiona MacGillivray has crawled over the Chilkoot Pass, determined to make her fortune as the owner of the Savoy dance hall. But Fiona has many obstacles to overcome, including her 12-year-old son, who is growing up much too fast for her liking. As well, she must cope with a former Glasgow street fighter who is now her business partner; a stern, handsome North West Mounted Police constable named Richard Sterling; and a wild assortment of headstrong dancers, croupiers, gamblers, madams without hearts of gold, bar hangers-on, and sourdoughs. Not to mention Fiona's own nimble-fingered past, which just might get to her first. And then there's the dead body on center stage.Gold Digger is a light-hearted historical mystery, peopled with an array of intrepid characters, the kind of characters who flooded into the Klondike to make Dawson, in its very short heyday, the most exciting town in the world. At the center of the hullabaloo is Fiona MacGillivray: resourceful, unscrupulous, ambitious, and (as she says herself) the most beautiful woman in Dawson. Gold Digger is the first in a new series featuring Fiona MacGillivray, her son Angus, NWMP Constable Richard Sterling, and the town at the heart of the Last Great Gold Rush, Dawson, Yukon Territory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite efforts of contemporary reformers to curb the availability of dime novels, series books, and paperbacks, Pioneers, Passionate Ladies, and Private Eyes reveals how many readers used them as means of resistance and how fictional characters became models for self-empowerment. These literary genres, whose value has long been underestimated, provide fascinating insight into the formation of American popular culture and identity. Through these mass-produced, widely read books, Deadwood Dick, Old Sleuth, and Jessie James became popular heroes that fed the public’s imagination for the last western frontier, detective tales, and the myth of the outlaw. Women, particularly those who were poor and endured hard lives, used the literature as means of escape from the social, economic, and cultural suppression they experienced in the nineteenth century. In addition to the insight this book provides into texts such as “The Bride of the Tomb,” the Nick Carter Series, and Edward Stratemeyer’s rendition of the Lizzie Borden case, readers will find interesting information about: the roles of illustrations and covers in consumer culture Bowling Green’s endeavor to digitize paperback and pulp magazine covers bibliographical problems in collecting and controlling series books the effects of mass market fiction on young girls Louisa May Alcott’s pseudonym and authorship of three dime novels special collections competition among publishers A collection of work presented at a symposium held by the Library of Congress, Pioneers, Passionate Ladies, and Private Eyes makes an outstanding contribution to redefining the role of popular fiction in American life.
