Tales of an Unsung Sourdough: The Extraordinary Klondike Adventures of Johnny Lind

Overview

A fresh new perspective on one of the most iconic periods in Canadian history, told from the perspective of an understated player who made his fortunes during the Klondike Gold Rush.

In the mid-1890s, a young man from Pond Mills, Ontario, struck out for adventure and wealth, eventually heading north, to Yukon and Alaska, prospecting for gold. While there, Johnny Lind, the titular unsung sourdough, made his first fortunes during the Klondike Gold Rush. His story goes largely unrecognized in the lore of the era, his understated demeanor overshadowed by the larger-than-life characters that dominate the history books. But Johnny Lind kept journals recording his adventures in the Klondike—an invaluable personal record that sheds light on the people and events of the gold rush, from the perspective of an everyman who wound up striking it rich. Here, Johnny Lind’s grandson Phil Lind shares his grandfather’s fascinating story, along with his love of the Klondike, the history of the gold rush, the colourful players in that famed period, and the peoples and land affected by the legendary stampede
