The Alaska Gold Rush
”I left the States and came north to Alaska to seek gold and adventure. I put gold first, for it was the prime reason I left Seattle aboard a northbound ship. Adventure, I knew, would follow in the wake of the search for gold.” Prospector Albert Stinson.
Anchorage is the crossroads for Alaska where gold rush adventurers met Russian and Native culture, where a tent city in the wilderness blossomed into the state’s largest city, and where folks can still pan for gold and learn about Alaska pioneers.
