| Publisher Description: In Gold Rush Orphan, Sandy Frances Duncan has woven a gripping tale of hardship and adventure based on her grandfather's gold rush journal entries of his 1898 trip to the Klondike. The arduous trek to the goldfields come alive in the fictionalized story of Jeremy Britain, an orphaned youth who joins James Fraser and his companions to search for the gold that would make their fortunes. Venturing into uncharted lands, Jeremy begins furiously panning the streams as he follows a mysterious account that promises the motherlode. |
