Review
"It is 1897 and gold has been found in the Yukon Territory. This draws people from all over the world—Lord Evelyn Luton, amateur explorer and a proud Englishman; Philip Henslow, his nephew; Irina Kozlok, a North Dakota farmer's widow, and the rest of the crew. They all set out on the long journey that begins with high hopes and ends in hard-won wisdom. James A. Michener makes the setting for a great historical event a landscape of awesome beauty. This intimate novel will take you on an unforgettable adventure into gold country." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
