Description
""Gold"" by Stewart Edward White is a novel set in the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1800s. The story follows a young man named John Ballard, who travels to the Yukon in search of gold and adventure. Along the way, he meets a variety of colorful characters, including a prospector named Hank and a beautiful woman named Elsa. As John and his companions navigate the harsh terrain and treacherous conditions of the Yukon, they must also contend with rival prospectors and dangerous wildlife. Through it all, John remains determined to strike it rich and prove himself as a true adventurer. ""Gold"" is a thrilling tale of greed, ambition, and survival in the wilds of the North.1913. Gold begins: Somewhere in this book I must write a paragraph exclusively about myself. The fact that in the outcome of all these stirring events I have ended as a mere bookkeeper is perhaps a good reason why one paragraph will be enough. In my youth I had dreams aplenty; but the event and the peculiar twist of my own temperament prevented their fulfillment. Perhaps in a more squeamish age-and yet that is not fair, either, to the men whose destinies I am trying to record. Suffice it then that of these men I have been the friend and companion, of these occasions I have been a part, and that the very lacks and reservations of my own character that have kept me to a subordinate position and a little garden have probably made me the better spectator. Which is a longer paragraph about myself than I had purposed writing.
