Trail
to the Klondike by Don McCune In the brutally cold winter of 1897-98, 100,000 people, drawn by the glitter of chance and fortune, stampeded north to the gold fields of the Yukon. In 1969-70, Don McCune retraced the Klondikers' trail with a camera crew. Trail to the Klondike features more than 120 photographs, including evocative images from gold rush photographer, Eric Hegg. Hegg's images are paired with those of the McCune crew to provide a "then-and-now" portrait of the Trail to the Klondike. |
