The Klondike was the last of the great nineteenth-century gold rushes, a succession of frenzies that had begun in California. Perhaps the best-known literary work about this era was Jack London's 'Call of the Wild,' but the first historical narrative by a participant in those hearty years was this work. It was written from memory, not a contemporary source, and Morgan points out that Lynch's 'facts' are sometimes not necessarily so. Saunders 59.
