Soapy Smith, George Carmack and Kate Rockwell Songs written by the miners themselves often feature legendary figures of the gold rush, including George Carmack (the man who made the first big strike on the Klondike), Soapy Smith (the infamous outlaw who cheated many a gold seeker out of his fortunes in Skagway), and "Klondike" Kate Rockwell (the most famous entertainer and singer of the gold rush). Some fiddle tunes are also included in the collection, and Murray notes that today the Athabascan inhabitants of the Alaska-Klondike region continue to perform fiddle tunes and dances that the miners and settlers brought with them over one hundred years ago.

1 I'm coming to this discussion way late, but did want to make the point that Carmack and Rockwell were in no wayto be considered outlaws. Carmack was a gold miner and relatively law abiding, at least for the times, and while Klondike Kate was most likely a lady of the evening, that didn't necessarily make her an outlaw. Smith, yes, he was definitely on the wrong side of the law.

I'm trying to find a book set in the Alaskan gold rush. The protagonist is pictured on the cover in a red&black dress.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
