My Alaska Klondike Adventure Along the Chilkoot Trail is a fast paced, true account of a modern woman's attempt to follow the trail of the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush.
Her trip starts in the historic town of Skagway, Alaska. Here she stumbles upon scoundrels like Soapy Smith, adventurers like Jack London and frisky, flirty Can Can girls.
The author also encounters an infamous bordello, The Red Onion Saloon, before she continues to the trail head in the ghost town of Dyea. Always in the back of her mind, though, are the treacherous Golden Stairs -- hanging there like a parapet to torment those foolish enough to make the climb.
Reviews:
"Told with humor and a good eye for description, some local history and colorful characters". (H.E. Parmer)
"Bernadette's straightforward story of their passage in the Klondike read like a memory. I could smell the wet socks. I was chewing the granola in my mind, and felt the relief of warmer, drier air all the more because I too had spent a day or two once in the rain and cold with Angelo. The descriptions she gives tell as much of a story as the narrative. This is a wonderful little book." (Richard Napstedt)
"Loved this adventure very much! We too have been there and on the Whitepass train ride, but did not have the time to hike the trail. I still l w a my to do the hike, but hope for better weather! Your descriptions of the adventure were wonderful! Thanks!" (Jme.Colorado)
