"The desire of gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom and benefit." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Of the estimated 30,000 to 40,000 people who reached Dawson City during the gold rush, only around 15,000 to 20,000 became prospectors.

Of these, no more than 4,000 struck gold and only a few hundred became rich.

By the time most of the stampeders arrived in 1898, the best creeks had all been claimed, either by the long-term miners in the region or by the first arrivals of the year before.

On this episode, the Hungry Historian guides you through the methods the prospectors took in order to extract that sweet, sweet gold from the clutches of Earth.

Additionally, you'll find out more about what day to day life was like for a Klondiker, including the length of the long arm of the law, and the availability of information from the outside world.

As if that wasn't good enough, Chef Money has finally decided to part with one of his most treasured recipes as he teaches you how to sauce up your own "Golden Nuggets."

Cheers!
