Sobre este artículo
[Honolulu or San Francisco]: NP, 1923. First Edition, First Printing. Green wraps, with title and rules printed in black. Very Good+. 8vo. Pp. 100. A particularly fresh copy, with slight closed tears (1") at front cover hinge at head and tail. Please see photos. Amid "excitement caused by this gold fever, and the frantic preparations made to get there, and get there quick," Fraser departed San Francisco for Skagway on the S.S. Queen in early January, 1898. "The fever was in the air. The general salutation when you met an acquaintance was, 'Are you going to the Klondike?'." Includes an anecdote about "confidence men of Seattle" -- "Seattle was Klondike crazy. More so, if possible, than San Francisco." Contains two pages on scurvy. As an accurate journalist living in San Francisco, Fraser was cautious about overstating the palpable West Coast hullabaloo generated by the discovery of Yukon gold. The Arctic Bibliography, Ricks and Smith indicate Honolulu as place of publication; Wickersham lists San Francisco. ARCTIC BIBLIOGRAPHY, 5212. RICKS, p.102; SMITH 3268; WICKERSHAM, 26.
