    Praise

    “. . . An eye-opening work, which is a natural companion for Jack London’s Call of the Wild and other historical-fiction works about the Klondike gold rush.” —Booklist

    ★ ”A remarkable collection of documents paints a picture of the Klondike gold rush in vivid detail. . . Adding only transitional paragraphs, the authors skillfully arrange these letters plus diary entries, telegrams and Pearce’s articles for the Denver Republican to convey the men’s story in compelling, first-person voices. The attractive design incorporates intriguing pull-out quotes, maps, posters, documents and many well-chosen, captioned photographs, including one of Jack London, who camped near Pearce and Bond’s cabin . . . an excellent companion to The Call of the Wild. A memorable adventure, told with great immediacy.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

    “This is excellent reading… “—School Library Journal
