Their purpose was to recreate the Klondike Gold Rush of 1896-98 and allow participants to challenge the savage beauty of the north.This is the story of John Firth as he follows in the footsteps walked by grandfather, T.A. Firth, on the journey that changed his life and determined his. Through fascinating narrative, photographs and historically inspired letters to the woman T.A. left behind for nine years while seeking his fortune this story brings to life the vivid scenery of the Yukon, and portrays the stark reality of the hardships faced by pioneers stampeding from Dyea to Dawson a century apart. It shares a family's knowledge and love for a river, the people and the land.
