About this episode
When news of gold along the Klondike River in Yukon Territory reaches the American west coast in the summer of 1897, the stampede begins immediately. Jack London, the soon-to-be-famous author, rushes north from San Francisco on the adventure of a lifetime. He quickly learns that the challenge of reaching the gold strike will push him to his limit.
