Gold rush in Alaska differed from all others. He who desired for gold had to get through Chillkoot Pass, survive several avalanches, not to drown during sail to Dawson, not freeze in 60 degrees below zero and dig through several meters of snow, ice and frozen ground. Only complete fools were thinking about such an adventure. Who else would go on such a journey to get one dollar in gold for two dollars invested. But there were some whose intentions was not to get the gold from the ground, but from the people instead.
