George Carmack

George Carmack was an American prospector and gold miner best known for his role in the Klondike Gold Rush. In 1896, he discovered gold along Bonanza Creek in Alaska, an event that sparked a massive influx of prospectors seeking wealth in the Yukon Territory. This discovery is considered one of the most significant in American history, leading to the migration of thousands to the region. Carmack's find not only changed his life but also had a lasting impact on the history and development of the area, as well as the broader narrative of the American West.
