for middle grade fans of The Call of the Wild and adventure
stories (School Library Journal)
As thousands head north in search of gold, Marshall Bond and Stanley
Pearce join them, booking passage on a steamship bound for the Klondike
goldfields. The journey is life threatening, but the two friends make it
to Dawson City, in Canada, build a cabin, and meet Jack London--all the
while searching for the ultimate reward: gold!
A riveting, true, action-packed adventure, with their telegrams,
diaries, and letters, as well as newspaper articles and photographs. An
author's note, timeline, bibliography, and further resources encourage
readers to dig deeper into the Gold Rush era.
