  From the flaps:.

  A Klondike Scrapbook is a lot more than a tale of miners and their experiences during the gold rush of 1898. Norman Bolotin, author of the award-winning book Klondike Lost, has actually discovered forgotten pieces of Klondike history which tell the tale of the males and females who left their comfortable lives to venture north and discover fortune.

  Bolotin does not merely recount the gold rush and the occasions which followed, but provides history itself in a distinct collection of letters, newspaper short articles, government records and first-hand accounts. The product provides us looks into the daily lives of the members of Klondike society-- the mounted police, youngsters, woman of the streets, miners' clergymen, other halves and businessmen.

  And highlighting all of it are the rich photographs of Kinsey and Kinsey, the bros who found unknown territory with their electronic cameras and chronicled this strong, but quick duration of growth and excitement. Clarke and Clarence Kinsey left a valuable heritage of glass plate photographic negatives, numerous which have never ever been released previously. The pictures not just file newsworthy events of the gold rush era but also reveal the personalities and experiences of the Kinseys' loved ones who stayed in and around Grand Forks-- the growing, little neighborhood fourteen miles from Dawson.

  From the back cover:.

  The rush of 1898 set off the growth of an extraordinary society along the gold -laden streams of the Klondike. Although the leads of mining supplied the magnet, the thousands who were drawn to Dawson City and Grand Forks were not all miners. A Klondike Scrapbook mentions to the story of the females and men who, regardless of difficulties and isolation, transformed camping tent towns into dynamic neighborhoods full with businesses, social clubs, libraries and healthcare facilities. Making use of a rare mix of historical documents and photos from the Kinsey and Kinsey collection, Norman Bolotin restores the society and spirit of these regular individuals who were caught up in such remarkable times.
