The Klondike Gold Rush in 1897 brought thousands of people to the Yukon after gold was discovered in Bonanza Creek. This discovery sparked a massive influx of prospectors and fortune-seekers, all hoping to strike it rich. The event was widely publicized, leading to a rush of adventurers traveling to the Yukon, often facing harsh conditions along the way.

Klondike is a region of the Yukon Territory in Northwest Canada, just east of the Alaskan border. On 16 August 1896, rich gold deposits were found in Bonanza (Rabbit) Creek, a tributary of the Klondike River. This sparked the Klondike goldrush of 1897-98. News of the discovery reached the United States in July, 1897, and within a month thousands of people were leaving their homes and jobs and pouring into the north. Over the next six months, approximately 100,000 gold-seekers set off for the Yukon: only 30,000 completed the trip.
