When the steamship PORTLAND steamed into Seattle with a ton of gold in July 1897, it set off gold fever around the world and initiated one of the most extraordinary stampedes in history.

In the brutally cold winter of 1897-98, 100,000 people, drawn by the glitter of gold and fortune, stampeded north to the gold fields of the Yukon near the Klondike River.

One stampeder wrote in his diary, "Nobody speaking on the trail. We move forward like dead men. Not even a howl from the dogs. The Chilkoot [Pass] is in front of us and the dogs are the only decent uncomplaining members of this party."

Seven decades later, Don McCune retraced the route of the Klondike Gold Rush with his Exploration Northwest film crew. Hiking from Dyea near Skagway, Alaska, over the Chilkoot Pass, they found abundant evidence of the stampeders' travail in "this debris-laden pattern tracing the Klondikers' folly and glory with woebegone eloquence...", as McCune wrote.

Between the end of the stampede and McCune's trek, less than 100 people had hiked the Chilkoot Trail! McCune was so moved by the trek that he wrote this 128-page book the next year. Published by WSU Press, 1997.

Using the famous, century-old pictures of Klondike Gold Rush photographer Eric Hegg, Don compares the experiences of the stampeders with what he saw when he hiked the trail. Some of the photos have not been published before. Hegg's Cordova studio is at the bottom left of this photo, courtesy of Mike Nore.
