During the Klondike Gold Rush from 1896 to 1899 gold was discovered on Bonanza Creek in Canada's Yukon Territory, drawing tens of thousands of prospectors seeking fortune. The journey was perilous and every person had to bring a year's worth of food and supplies, boosting demand in remote Dawson City.
