The men and women who joined the gold rush of 1897 and 1898 endured unbelievable harships in their quest for fortune. Many turned back. Some died en route. Only one in five ever prospected for gold.

Despite the risk, deprivation, and struggle encountered, many men and women - even the ones who returned home empty-handed - later named the gold rush as one of the most rewarding experiences of their lives and one, if given the chance, they would repeat again.
