Klondike Gold Rush

The Seattle unit of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park safeguards the account of the charge to the Yukon gold fields and Seattle's significant part in this occasion. The features of a Seattle daily paper on July 17, 1897, Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold! touched off dreams of simple wealth in the brains of thousands as expression of a rich gold strike in northwestern Canada. A fantasy that would demonstrate everything except dream. The Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park envelops just a single building, yet offers a look when anybody with about $600 $20,000 in the present dollars could dream of making a trip to the Yukon Territory in northwestern Canada, strike a claim, mine the gold and strike it rich. Tragically, for some their fantasy of wealth was only that, a fantasy. For most Stampeders, they would return broke, however with recollections of the wild experience.
