Book Description
Cheechakoes is a novel based on fact. The gold rush of 1897-98 was one of the great episodes in American history.

These poor souls traveled by foot, carrying their required 1150 pounds of food plus their equipment, thirty-three miles over rugged country, fighting deep snow and frigid temperatures to Lake Bennett. Then they had to build a boat and travel 500 miles down the Yukon River to Dawson City. The lust for gold made these men struggle against insurmountable odds, for a chance to make their fortunes. New of the Yukon gold drew men from their $1.00 a day jobs in California to Alaska hoping to strike it rich. Sit back, put your feet up and enjoy this story about the 1897-98 Yukon gold rush. The author has provided 52 illustrations to help you enjoy this adventurous story.
