Summary:
"In 1978, hundreds of reels of silent films were unearthed from beneath the demolished site of an old hockey arena in
Dawson
City
, Yukon. Author Michael Gates witnessed the cinematic discovery of these once-lost films -- and in this book excavates and illuminates the history of a Gold Rush town like no other. An event in the most unlikely of places and circumstances, the
Klondike
Gold Rush was unique in the history of Canada and the development of the North.
Dawson
City
, the 'Paris of the North,' was the hub of the
Klondike
Gold Rush 125 years ago. There were more saloons, gambling halls and theatres than there were places serving food, and the live theatre was at the centre of it all. Discover the icons who went from the
Klondike
to
Hollywood
: Robert Service, Jack London, Charlie Chaplin, Alexander Pantages, Sid Grauman, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Marjorie Rambeau and more. Join Michael Gates on this cinematic journey as he ponders the question: Did the
Klondike
help make
Hollywood
, or did
Hollywood
make the
Klondike
?"--From publisher.
