The Klondike guys: We've seen them before too.
They need more research.
In the summer of 1896, Carmack and his native partners were at a fish camp at the junction of the Yukon and Klondike rivers. None could imagine that events to follow would transform their tranquil wilderness into a booming city of 30,000 in just two years.
During a visit to the camp, Henderson told Carmack of some promising "colors" he had found while panning in Gold Bottom Creek. Carmack asked if he could stake claims nearby, as was the custom. Henderson replied that Carmack was welcome, but that his Indian friends were not.
