"I Married the Klondike" - enthralling. The author went to Dawson as a teacher in 1909 aged 19. I looked on GOOGLE Maps this afternoon, they seem to grow a lot of cannibas up there
outside and in poly-tunnels. The area remains devastated by the mining for gold at that time. She talks very little about her schooling but from a social history point of view, there is so much information: clothing, machinery, how they 'lived it up'. Edwardian clothing - not suitable for deep snow/mud/rain ........ and the social hierarchy :-)
