Description

Remarkable first hand account of Klondyke gold prospecting, published at the start of the gold rush and promising much to potential prospectors. After a history of the area, Sola gets down to practical details in the second half of the book devoted to his personal narrative and guidance for those hunting for gold. Well illustrated throughout. Fascinating advertisements offering to provision the explorer. Stock toned, but otherwise all in good internal order. Four maps, including one fold out, to rear. Endpapers split, front board shaken and rear fep loose, but all holding well. Green cloth with macabre gilt decoration and titling a little bumped, worn and lightly marked.4to. [14], 102pp
