1869. As the gold fever swept the nation, a great migration north begins to the Yukon Territory of Canada, where the adventurous Frank Blake chases his dreams of fortune aboard a rickety steamer... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Months after reading the rest of the books, I finally found my copy and re-read it. A simple opinion of the book is this:It is simply a transitional book, with no real impact of its own.The book wraps up previous plots (Toby in Washington, Sierra oil skullduggery, Janessa's doctoring, etc.) Outside of Janessa's involvment with birth control, no new plots are devised, and the plot concerning Frank is simply stretched into the Yukon, but lacks much of the feel for the territory.Ross already knew he wanted the next book to be heavily around the Spanish-American War,a nd simply sacrificed this book to get us there.WHat a shame.
