DESCRIPTION:
This true narrative published in 1898 is the basis for Klondike which is a three-part mini-series by the Discovery Channel that was broadcast on January 20-22, 2014. Klondike stars Richard Madden and Augustus Prew as two adventurers who travel to the Yukon, Canada, in the late 1890s during the Klondike Gold Rush. It was the network's first-ever scripted miniseries and was directed by Simon Cellan Jones and executive produced by Ridley Scott. The story centers on the friendship of two adventurers, Bill Haskell and Byron Epstein, as the
frost-bound "last frontier," or any other frontier, for that matter. This is a wind-ranging, remarkably thorough, honest, and personal account of the gold rush, the Alaska Natives, crime and punishment, mining boomtowns and wilderness living conditions, and more. One of the finest "I was there" accounts to be written by anyone about any aspect of America's rugged.
