Klondike Gold Rush
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Klondike Gold Rush happened in the 1890's when many people went to a river in Canada called Klondike who hoped to find gold there and become rich. The news reached the US in July 1897. Very few people found any gold. Gold was actually first found in the Rabbit Creek, which is now called the Bonanza creek since so many people went there to find gold.
The city that probably profited most was Dawson City, Yukon in Canada. There was 4 million dollars worth of gold found. The Yukon river is the 3rd longest river in North America.
