Ebenezer McAdam -- 1859-1927, Klondike River Valley (Yukon) -- Gold discoveries, Yukon -- Description and travel, Gold mines and mining, Travel, Yukon, Yukon -- Klondike River Valley 

"The great gold rush that led thousands to the Yukon in the closing years of the last century has long intrigued Canadian writers and readers alike. Here is a special and important new book based on the day-to-day journal kept by Ebenezer McAdam, one of five Montrealers who left for the Yukon in 1897. It provides vivid glimpses into life on the trails and rivers as the party followed the overland route from Duck Lake, Saskatchewan, through the Peace River District via the river systems that led to the magic land, the Yukon."--Back cover.
