The stories of these women are incredible. They were bold and practically fearless as they charged into the unknown and made lives for themselves in really tough and treacherous conditions, sometimes even with children. I didn’t know much, if anything, about the gold rush in Alaska, and I think that’s where the book and I have a gap. I maybe needed more basic history of the time to fully understand, though I do think the timelines are unclear even if you do have an understanding. Very interesting, nonetheless!
