David Hudson's Reviews > Gold Diggers: Striking it Rich in the Klondike

If you are looking for an interesting book about the Klondike Gold Rush, this is the book for you. Charlotte Gray wisely sticks mainly to the stories of six people who were instrumental in the gold rush, and most of them weren't miners. To my mind this was an excellent strategy for her to use as it gave the book structure, and yet kept the reader's attention throughout as the people she chose were so interesting. Charlotte Gray has received many honours for history writing, and with this book she shows why she merits receiving those awards.
