Klondike Gold Rush
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Klondike Gold Rush happened in the 1890s when many people went to a river in Canada called Klondike who hoped to find gold there and become rich. The news reached the United States in July 1897. Very few people found any gold. Gold was first found in the Rabbit Creek, 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.
