Description
The Klondike Gold Rush was a migration by an estimated 100,000 prospectors to the Klondike region of the Yukon in north-western Canada between 1896 and 1899. Gold was discovered there by local miners on August 16, 1896 and, when news reached Seattle and San Francisco the following year, it triggered a stampede of would-be prospectors. Some became wealthy, but the majority went in vain.Twitter Instagram Facebook Dan SnowProducer: Dan MorelleThe new 3-part series, Operation Gold Rush begins on Sunday 30th October on BBC Two at 9pm.
