The Yukon Gold Rush is a very interesting topic in human history.  People went to the Yukon to mine for gold.  People still went to the the Yukon regardless of the fact that it was freezing cold.  People ate tons of food in one year in that era (even more than me)they brought a year’s supply of food like bacon, flour, and beans, because they knew it was a long way to the Yukon.  Some people travelled thousands of kilometers on horseback and by husky sleds.  They carried  all kinds of tools like pickaxes shovels lots of food supplies like bacon, flour, and beans.   Merchants were cheapskates.   Merchants were cheapskates because through “business” (probably force) they got gold from the miners.  The miners may have liked to go to the yukon because it was a rocky region (ideal for mining).  Therefore the Yukon Gold Rush is a pretty interesting topic in human history.
