It all started with a small, shiny nugget of gold and the history of the North changed forever. Whoever was the first to discover that original nugget is likely to remain forever legend. Wealth Woman: Kate Carmack and the Klondike Race for Gold tells - for the first time - the lost story of Shaaw Tláa, a true pioneer who played a significant role in the early discovery of the gleaming metal, but has been wrongly written out of the books.
Deb Vanasse’s formidable research unfolds a fascinating and interesting piece of history that deserves to be known. Giving the reader only the most likely conclusions, based on the circumstances discerning the reliability of original black and white photographs, private correspondence, legal documents and memories of the Tagish-Tlingit community, Vanasse is determined to set the record straight, offering a pathway to understanding a complex woman whose life has been ignored for so long.
With extraordinary sensibility, the author delivers an emotional, powerful, as well as the most truthful portrayal of Kate Carmack. Attention to details, and a rich and precise writing style make Wealth Woman a surprisingly absorbing book, one that will take you back to the Alaska gold rush era.
