About this book

Snow, exhaustion and a jammed sledge bring a young gold seeker close to collapse before he spots a camp fire in the mountains. The men who answer his call offer help, but their interest in his belongings gives their welcome an uneasy edge. Set amid the Klondike gold discoveries, George Manville Fenn's adventure novel begins with the physical cost of pursuing imagined riches.

Farther into the story, Dallas and his companion mark out a claim with Norton's advice and build a hut with help from neighbouring miners. Washing gravel, cutting timber and paying for provisions turn the prospect of wealth into daily work. The small settlement, with its rough pine huts and winding creek, gives the tale a practical texture.
