Sobre este artículo
The Hogarth Press, 1958. First Edition. Cloth. Good. 1st Edition: 344pp, illustrated, b/w photographs. Black cloth covers with gilt titling to spine, no dustjacket.Raymond and Elizabeth Robins, a brother and sister team, and their quest for Gold during the Nome Alaska Gold Rush. The author's ''account of her visit to Nome in 1900. The hellish voyage from Seattle on an overcrowded ship, the first impressions of the city of tents on the tundra, the discovery that her brother has become a cross between a saint and a dictator - these lead into a strange, enclosed little world of heroism and racketeering, claim-jumping and militant Christianity. The people [the author] met are a fascinating mixture: a gold miner who had been a detective in the Lizzie Borden case; a group of squatters in the church; a lady who brings her old family silver to start a restaurant at Nome.And there is the passionate, patient Raymond, torn between his desire to leave Nome and settle down with his sister, and his power over the community which needs him so badly.''
