My Alaska Klondike Adventure Along the Chilkoot Trail is a fast paced, true account of a modern woman's attempt to follow the trail of the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush. Her trip starts in the historic town of Skagway, Alaska. Here she stumbles upon scoundrels like Soapy Smith, adventurers like Jack London and frisky, flirty Can Can girls. The author also encounters an infamous bordello, The Red Onion Saloon, before she continues to the trail head in the ghost town of Dyea. Always in the back of her mind, though, are the treacherous Golden Stairs -- hanging there like a parapet to torment those foolish enough to make the climb. "Told with humor and a good eye for description, some local history and colorful characters". (H.E. Parmer) "A good read if you know the area." (Francois Howard)
