The desire to strike it rich and discover gold led thousands of people through the city of Seattle in 1896. Learn how the city benefited and prospered from the prospectors business as they made their way to Yukon Valley's gold fields. Our host Tom Bodett introduces us to the famous Pioneer Square and Pike Place Market and the majestic Mount Rainier. Next we move north to Juneau to explore the Treadwell Mines and Skagway, as we pass through a ghost town cemetery and relive the feverish past of the region's gold chasing days. ~ Laura Mahnken, All Movie Guide
