does any one know about the Alaskan gold rush?

Question

where did it take place

Answer 1

Alaska never really had a gold rush....What you are referring to was actually the gold strikes in the Yukon province of Canada. Alaska was the destination of the miners and prspectors on the way to the gold fields, due to the vicinity of the Yukon to the panhandle of Alaska's southeast coast. Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan all saw massive influxes of miners headed overland, across mountain ranges and passes to the gold, many starting their search after reaching Whitehorse. Some gold was found in alaska, and many did try their luck, but most of the action was in northwestern Canada, with no roads, railroads, or navigable rivers.
The most money was made by those who supplied the miners with the things they needed, and among those who went to Alaska to do this was the famous Wyatt Earp, of O.K. Corral gunfight fame. Many of the author Jack London's books were set in this place and era, fueling the public's hunger and facination with the rush.
1896-1898 saw the last true gold rush in N. America, and it's legacy is still romantisized in the things and stories left behind throughout Alaska and the Yukon.

Answer 2

Yukon gold rush or the Klondike. It covered a great deal of land along the Yukon River in both Alaska and Northwest Territories of of Canada at the very end of the 1890s.

It has been described as more people going farther for less gold than in any other gold rush in history.

Jack London, the famous writer set several of his stories during this gold rush including the short story "To Build a Fire" and novels "Call of the Wild" and "White Fang".

There is still gold in Alaska today just as there is still gold in California and Colorado, but it is flake gold and isn't easy to find.

Answer 3

The Klondike Gold Rush was a frenzy of gold rush immigration to, and gold prospecting along, the Klondike River near Dawson City, Yukon, Canada, after gold was discovered in the late 19th century.
