Description
Format(s): 

When a ship full of gold arrives in Seattle, thousands of men rush to get to the Klondike goldfields-fast. But the journey is risky. Prospectors must haul a year's worth of supplies over steep mountain passes and navigate five hundred miles of treacherous lakes and rivers to reach Dawson City, in Canada. Will Stanley Pearce and Marshall Bond, two young prospectors, survive the dangerous journey? And will they strike gold and find their fortunes?

This is the true story of their expedition, a tense, action-packed adventure that includes meeting another young prospector, Jack London. Call of the Klondike is filled with telegrams, letters, diary entries, and newspaper articles, as well as historic images. The authors worked closely with experts on the gold rush era to bring this exciting time period to life. Here is a journey that readers will never forget.
