Overview
A hundred years ago, gold was discovered on a tributary of the Klondike River in north-west Canada, sparking off an extraordinary stampede across the snowbound passes of the Yukon. Will White from Dorset was one of the thousands of amateur prospectors who set out to make their fortune. White's story, gleaned from his letters home, is interwoven with tales of colourful characters of the time.
