Download or read book Klondike written by Pierre Berton and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2011-02-11 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Synopsis The Klondike Fever by : Pierre Berton
Download or read book The Klondike Fever written by Pierre Berton and published by Martino Fine Books. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2010 Reprint of 1958 edition. This thrilling story of the Klondike Gold Rush is at once first-rate history and first-rate entertainment. Some of the anecdotes of the last great gold rush have been told by others, but Pierre Berton is the first to distill the Klondike experience into a single, complete, coherent and immensely dramatic narrative.

The full story has never been told before, nor has it been told in this dramatic way.
Book Synopsis The Great Gold, Silver and Crypto Rush of the 21st Century by : Michael Maloney
Download or read book The Great Gold, Silver and Crypto Rush of the 21st Century written by Michael Maloney and published by Bzk Press. This book was released on 2022-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Great Gold, Silver and Crypto Rush of the 21st Century, Mike Maloney and Jeff Clark show why more wealth will be won and lost than ever before. They explain why the global spread of democracy, financial affluence, changes in laws, the development of the investor mindset, and the coming change in the worldwide monetary system are all conspiring to make this the biggest financial event the world has ever seen.Zero interest rates and massive currency creation have push real estate, stocks, and bonds back into massive bubbles, and now the entire world is in the "everything except gold and silver bubble," But the forces that threaten the world monetary system are the same forces that will propel gold and silver to unimaginable heights. Yes, the threat has never been bigger, but that means that the opportunity has never been bigger.Since 2001, savvy investors and central banks, preparing for the next financial crisis, have already purchased three times more gold and silver than they did in the entire bull market of the 1970s--and they've gobbled up more than ten times the gold that came out of the ground in the California Gold Rush of 1849. Nothing in history can compare. But don't worry... you haven't missed anything. This is only the beginning... the big rush is yet to come. People will either become richer or poorer. The good news is that it is entirely up to them.
