    06 August 1896 - FAMILY FINDS MOTHER LODE NEAR THE KLONDIKE: George
    Carmack, Skookum Jim Mason (aka Keish), and other family members
    experience a 'eureka' moment when they find a large gold deposit on the
    banks of a Klondike tributary. When news of their discovery begins to
    spread, more than 100,000 prospectors will head to the area, but only a
    few will strike it rich.

    To reach the gold fields, most prospectors took the route through the
    ports of Dyea and Skagway, in Southeast Alaska. Here, the "Klondikers"
    could follow either the Chilkoot or the White Pass trails to the Yukon
    River, and sail down to the Klondike. The Canadian authorities required
    each of them to bring a year's supply of food, in order to prevent
    starvation. In all, the Klondikers' equipment weighed close to a ton,
    which most carried themselves, in stages. Performing this task, and
    contending with the mountainous terrain and cold climate, meant those
    who persisted did not arrive until summer 1898. Once there, they found
    few opportunities, and many left disappointed.
