Along the Teslin Trail, Faith and party inspect a Klondiker\u2019s wheelbarrow used to replace a mule. – $140<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. in issue 23-2, Bob Lansdale writes an auction topic titled, “Waddington\u2019s Marks 100th Anniversary of the Klondike”. Many of us think about the romance of the Klondike gold rush in the Yukon territory in the late 1800s.<\/p>\n

It was a time\u00a0when women\u2019s place was in the home; schoolteaching served as a job of convenience until\u00a0marriage would hopefully replace it.<\/p>\n

“But Alice developed a hidden persona writing a column in the 1880\u2019s for the Barrie paper,\u00a0Northern Advance<\/i>, under the romantic nom-de-plume of STELLA.” …<\/p>\n
