Major figures in the Klondike Gold Rush included George Carmack, who discovered gold in Bonanza Creek in 1896, sparking the rush. His wife, Kate, and brother-in-law, Skookum Jim Mason, were also instrumental in the discovery. Other notable individuals included miners like "Soapy" Smith, a con artist and saloon owner who capitalized on the influx of prospectors, and Frederick Trump, who established a successful business catering to miners.
