| Description |
English: Prospectors had hunted gold in the Klondike region since the 1880s. In August 1896, three men made a strike on Rabbit Creek, a tributary of the Klondike River. The strike was so large that they renamed the creek Bonanza. By the end of 1898, 40,000 people had poured into Dawson, Yukon Territory, to hunt for Klondike gold. This photo, probably taken in 1898, shows the city of Dawson at the junction of the Yukon and Klondike Rivers. A dog stands in the foreground looking at the photographer. Original photograph: 1898?. Copied after 1975 by the Museum of History and Industry.
