More Than Gold: A Klondike Adventure

Janis Pegrum Smith

4.9/5 (27185 ratings)

Description:July 1897. Photographer Lars Niklasson is unexpectedly sent to record the greatest gold rush the world will ever see. The race is on to reach the Yukon before freeze-up and Lars is wholly unprepared for the perils of the arduous journey. Life and death situations become a daily occurrence on the trail to Dawson, but for those who make it that far the adventure has only just begun. Trapped on the rim of the Arctic Circle, all the gold in the world is worthless when there is nothing to buy, nothing to eat! Klondike kings and queens, Vikings, adventure, love, enmity and murder transform the 'greenhorn' into a 'sourdough' in a world where no one and nothing is what it seems – and where Lars finds himself on trial for his life... Have you got what it takes to hit the trail? ---------------------------------------------------- Reviews "It is always a pleasure to read a book based in the Klondike during the gold rush that is rooted in realistic portrayals and the true conditions that existed. Usually, those interested in this time period, must study the diaries and documents of the time. Janis Pegrum Smith has done this for you and produced compelling characters and scenarios that will stay with you long after you’ve finished the book." Laura Mann Executive Director - Dawson City Museum I enjoyed particularly that the story focused on a Swedish immigrant, which added colour and cultural texture to the plot. Lars is a well-chosen protagonist with many unique characteristics that make it fascinating to follow his path. He is not the usual hero and macho you'd expect in a novel about Alaska and he is accompanied by a great set of supporting characters. With careful detail and atmospheric writing, the author paints a great picture of the journey to Alaska and then the life in the hostile environment, which refers not just to the forces of nature but also to the natives and the life and attitudes of the explorers. The events that unfold during a hard winter are vividly shown and made for some fascinating and captivating reading. With a hint of Jack London's adventure writing, realistic settings and characters and a great idea and a little love story at its heart, this is a very rewarding and gripping read in a wonderfully understated way. An adventure story, a coming of age story, a love story and great historical fiction.” Historical Novel Society ReviewWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
