Review:

An outstanding record of an unusual and fascinating period of Canadian history.

It races along, just like the stampede itself. You start in the silence of the forest, and go right through until it’s silent again after one of the most peculiar mass migrations in modern history.

It has made me want to learn more about the rush, the aftermath, and the Yukon.
