Klondike
The Klondike refers to the historic Gold Rush that took place between 1896 and 1899 in the Yukon region of Canada, where thousands of prospectors flocked seeking gold. It began when gold was discovered in Bonanza Creek, prompting a rush of people hoping to find fortunes. The journey was challenging, involving long, difficult travel often by treacherous routes. The Klondike ultimately became a symbol of opportunity, adventure, and the pursuit of wealth, and played a significant role in North American history by accelerating regional development and migration.
