Within two years, Dawson City, in the Canadian Yukon, grew from a mining camp of four hundred to a raucous town of more than thirty thousand. The stampede to the Klondike was the last great gold rush in history. Scurvy, dysentery, frostbite, and starvation stalked all who dared to be in Dawson. And yet the possibilities attracted people from all walks of life. Gold Diggers is the remarkable story of the Klondike Gold Rush told through the lives of six very different people: the miner William Haskell; the saintly priest Father Judge; the savvy twenty-four-year-old businesswoman Belinda Mulrooney; the imperious British journalist Flora Shaw; spit-and-polish Sam Steele of the Mounties; and, most famous, the writer Jack London, who left without gold but with the stories that would make him a legend. Brilliantly interweaving their experiences, Charlotte Gray presents a fascinating panorama of a subarctic town, drawing on letters, memoirs, newspaper articles, and stories. Review: What a RUSH - I loved this book. While it has history it is not a dull history book and the history is indeed interesting. The book details the lives of different people enveloped in the gold rush from a wonderful clergy man ,a young Irish woman with a keen sense for business, successful and not so successful miners plus those who went there with no knowledge of mining or life in the very rugged north.The book is very well written and weaves the history, the town of Dawson, and the individual characters together seamlessly. Review: Fun History - starts to drag toward the end - I was in Alaska and just had to get this and read about where I was at the time. It was very detailed and gave you a pretty good idea of what it was like. It also fired up my thirst for gold. It sounds so easy to go somewhere and just "pick up" the gold from a river, but the truth is so far from that. Towards the end of the book, it just seemed that everything had been covered already. I was ready for it to end, but I didn't stop the process, I finished the book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #147 in Canadian History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 189 Reviews | ## Images ![Gold Diggers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51L3ouBn2iL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a RUSH *by T***E on February 15, 2014* I loved this book. While it has history it is not a dull history book and the history is indeed interesting.

It was very detailed and gave you a pretty good idea of what it was like. It also fired up my thirst for gold. It sounds so easy to go somewhere and just "pick up" the gold from a river, but the truth is so far from that. Towards the end of the book, it just seemed that everything had been covered already. I was ready for it to end, but I didn't stop the process, I finished the book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ makes history fun! *by A***R on March 1, 2014* I had a history prof in college who was loved and respected by all who were lucky enough to get in his class. He didn't want to screw up any body's gpa, so he frequently cancelled semester finals. His respect was not based on being a softie. No, this man made his mark because he KNEW history. He'd insert into every lecture a nugget of a human interest; something that had no meaning in the "big picture" but made it a lot more interesting and fun to read. Charlotte Gray does the same thing, showing the Big Picture of how the Klondike affected both Canada and the US, but as well the human profile. The shrewdness of Belinda Montgomery, the hardships of even successful miners like Bill Haskell, the driven almost obsessed vision of Sam Steele.
