The story of the
Klondike Gold Rush is an exciting and important chapter in the
development of the Canadian north. One aspect of this story is
the ability of the newcomers to address and meet the special challenges
they found in the Yukon. The adaptation of imported mining techniques
and social structures, the development of specific legal and administrative
forums, and the remarkable individual stories of success and failure
are all a part of this story.
Dawson Historical Complex National Historic Site is one of the
National
Historic Sites of Canada in the Klondike
