You might cry, you will laugh and you just might be left with a sense of wonderment and awe. The saying, "It takes a village" embodies the spirit of the people and stories contained in this publication.

Learn what life was like in a wilderness gold rush town, isolated in the far north during a time before the town had TV or running water, when dog teams were common and horses and cows roamed the streets.
