“I have read many books
on the Yukon, but this is
different. It is the gallant
personality of the author
which shines on every page,
and makes her chronicle a
saga of the High North.”
— Robert Service
A Memoir of Love and Adventure in the Yukon
In 1907, Laura Beatrice Berton left behind her life as a kindergarten
teacher in Toronto and boarded a steamboat bound for the Yukon. What
was meant to be a one-year teaching assignment in a distant mining town
turned into a lifelong connection to the land, its people, and a man she
would marry. For the next 25 years, she made Dawson City her home.
Expecting a rough-and-tumble frontier town, Berton arrived in Dawson
bracing for a place dominated by miners, Mounties in red serge, and
lively dance halls. While those were present, she also discovered a
community steeped in culture, resilience, and unexpected elegance.
Dawson’s reputation as the “Paris of the North” came to life through tea
parties, formal balls, sleigh rides, and winter pageantry that clung to
the glory days of the Gold Rush. Behind the scenes, stories unfolded of
survival and struggle, including poets writing from cabin walls, starving
missionaries, and fortune-seekers growing old in icy creeks.
Every fall, most residents left on the final riverboat before the ice came,
but Berton remained, anchored by her love for the North. Her memoir
captures both the hardship and the charm of life in a fading gold rush
town, told with wit, grace, and the clear voice of a woman who lived it all.

The untold story of the Yukon First Nations
woman at the heart of the Klondike Gold Rush
Headlines thundered around the world—Gold! Gold! Gold!
And at the center of this historic discovery stood Shaaw
Tláa, a resilient Tagish woman from the Yukon, later
known as Kate Carmack.
Born and raised in First Nations traditions, Kate married
a white man who claimed credit for discovering the first
Klondike gold. But Kate was there, and she knew the
truth that history overlooked.
In the chaotic aftermath of the gold rush, Kate was torn
from her homeland and everything familiar. When her
husband abandoned her, she refused to surrender. With
remarkable courage, Kate fought for the fortune that was
rightfully hers, only to discover the true wealth that had
been hers from the beginning.
This hidden Canadian history reads like a gripping
novel. Wealth Woman celebrates the indomitable spirit of a
First Nations woman who faced overwhelming odds with
dignity and determination.
“A riveting story told by a brilliant writer.”

“Good T ime Girls is an important and entertaining addition to
gold rush literature. These women are as important a part of the Klondike
story as Big Alex and Swiftwater Bill. After all, they too were gold diggers.
”
—Pierre Berton, author of Klondike
H
istory has long ignored many of the earliest female pioneers of the Far
North—the prostitutes and other
“disreputable
”
women who joined the
mass pilgrimage to the booming gold camps of Alaska and the Yukon at the turn
of the century. Leaving behind their hometowns and most constraints of the
post-Victorian era, the
“
good time girls
”
crossed both geographic and social
frontiers, finding freedom, independence, hardship, heartbreak, and sometimes
astonishing wealth.
These women possessed the courage and perseverance to brave a dangerous
journey of more than a thousand miles, into a harsh wilderness where men
sometimes outnumbered them more than ten to one. Many of these women later
became successful entrepreneurs, wealthy property owners, or the wives of
prominent citizens; one former prostitute married the mayor of Fairbanks and
hosted a visit from President Warren G. Harding. Their influence changed life
in the Far North forever.
Lael Morgan offers an authentic, sympathetic, poignant, and often
deliciously humorous account of women who were extraordinarily independent
even by today
’
s standards.
