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.
