| Editorial Review |
| The Official Guide to the Klondyke Country and the Gold Fields of Alaska promises vivid descriptions and thrilling experiences from the title page. Published as a thorough instruction manual on how and why to mine in the Alaska 1897 gold rush, the guide includes maps and detailed original illustrations, first-hand accounts from pioneers in the area, and advice for traveling, lodging, finding food, and striking gold. A fascinating look into the minds and hearts of settlers hoping to make their fortunes in an uncharted and unforgiving environment, The Official guide to the Klondyke Country is a must-read for anyone interested in American history. The W.B. CONKEY COMPANY was once the largest publisher and printer in the world. Founded in 1877 and located in Hammond, Indiana, the publisher was family owned and run, boasting the largest printing plant in the world from 1906 to 1908, as well as being one of the first publishers to establish a cost-effective way of producing books by using modern equipment. The company was sold to Rand McNally in 1949. |
