    The document describes the setting and events of the Klondike Gold Rush that began in 1896 when gold was discovered in Canada's Yukon region. Within six months of the discovery, approximately 100,000 prospectors set out for the Yukon in hopes of finding gold, but only 30,000 made it there. The journey was extremely difficult, long, and cold, requiring travelers to bring a year's worth of supplies and walk while pulling sleds loaded with hundreds of pounds of equipment. Many died or turned back along the way due to the arduous conditions of the trip.

    The Klondike Gold Rush


    On August 16, 1896 Yukon-area Indians Skookum Jim Mason and Tagish Charlie, along with Seattleite George Carmack found gold in Rabbit Creek, near Dawson, in the Yukon region of Canada. And so the Klondike Gold Rush began Within six months, approximately 100,000 gold-seekers set off for the Yukon. Only 30,000 completed the trip. Many Klondikers died, or lost enthusiasm and either stopped where they were, or turned back along the way. The trip was long, arduous, and cold. Klondikers had to walk most of the way, using either pack animals or sleds to carry hundreds of pounds of supplies. The Northwest Mounted Police in Canada required that all Klondikers bring a year's worth of supplies with them. Even so, starvation and malnutrition were serious problems
