  5. Jack London staked his claim October 6, 1897, and filed Placer Mining Claim Number 54 "ascending the left fork of Henderson Creek" on November 5, 1897 in Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Canada. While working this claim London made his headquarters in a cabin owned by his friend, Charles Taylor on Claim Number 151. During the winter Jack wrote on a log in the back of the cabin--"Jack London, Miner, Author, Jan. 27, 1898." #10 Where is Klondike Cabin http://www.jacklondons.net/henderson-creek-cabin.html

  7. Have you ever experienced a situation, perhaps playing a sport, where you were up against insurmountable odds, but you kept going because the end seemed worth it or you had no choice? "Imagine pulling a sled loaded with three to six hundred pounds over a stretch of ice up a steep grade, strewn with boulders and logs, then crossing over a river bed on a couple of trees laid side by side and you get a picture of our labors," Fred Dewey wrote his friends at home of the two long weeks it took him to haul his gear to the base of the Chilkoot pass. "My feet are sore, my heels are blistered, my legs sore and lame, my hands, neck, shoulders, sore and chafed from rope. But boys, don't think I'm discouraged...there is a golden glimmer in the distance." Facing 60-mile-an-hour winds in 65-degree-below-zero weather, the prospectors had to ascend the Chilkoot -- 1,000 feet straight up. With a steady stream of stampeders lining the path each day, it took forty trips to get a ton of supplies up the mountain.
