The floor of heaven : a true tale of the last frontier and the Yukon gold rush / Howard Blum.
It is the last decade of the nineteenth century. The Wild West has been tamed, and its fierce, independent, and often violent larger-than-life figures - gun-toting wanderers, trappers, prospectors, Indian fighters, cowboys, and lawmen - are now victims of their own success. They are heroes who have outlived their usefulness. But then gold is discovered in Alaska and the adjacent Canadian Klondike. A new frontier suddenly looms - a giddy mix of greed and lust for adventure, ignites a stampede. Joining this throng are three unforgettable men and a true-life tale that rivets from the first page.
