"Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame." - Arthur Schopenhauer
When gold was found in the Klondike region of Canada during the late summer of 1896, it kicked off a series of events that led to almost 100,000 people "stampeding" north in search of fame and fortune. Most, came in vain; searching in desperation for the "pay streak" but finding nothing more than heartache and hardships.
Boom towns and tent cities popped up all along the routes that brought these stampeders to the Klondike. With them came a whole cavalcade of characters, many of whom, would become immortalized in the mythos that surrounded the Gold Rush.
On this third and final episode, The Hungry Historian will walk you through the streets of Skagway and Dawson and tell you what day to day life was like for the prospectors, businesses, and everyone else who was wrapped up in the rush. Additionally, you'll discover what happened to these cities post-Gold Rush, and the lasting legacy that can still be felt and explored today.
Finally, as a featured recipe, Chef Money is bringing to you the perfect cocktail to tie in and cap this series off! For this one, you'll need to listen to the episode!
Cheers!
