Eldorado! : the archaeology of gold mining in the far North
When gold was discovered in the far northern regions of Alaska and the Yukon in the late 19th century, thousands of individuals headed north to strike it rich. This massive movement required a vast network of supplies and services and brought even more people north to manage and fulfill those needs. In this volume, archaeologists, historians, and ethnologists discuss their interlinking studies of the towns, trails, and mining districts that figured in the northern gold rushes, including the first sustained account of the archaeology of 20th-century gold mining sites in Alaska or the Yukon
