Although he had been wandering across America since leaving home at 15, this would be the biggest adventure, and the biggest risk, Quigley had ever taken. A project that began as genealogical research into a family''s history, this biography traces the life of a fascinating character before, during and after the great Klondike gold rush. Deeply researched, including quotes from Quigley and numerous photographs, this book is more than another tale of the Klondike Gold Rush. It is an intimate look at the inspiring life of a pioneer prospector, who witnessed the exploration and development of one of America''s most harsh, beautiful and captivating landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\tvi\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Searching for Joe Quigley\t1\u003cbr\u003e 1. The Chilkoot Pass and Fortymile River \t5\u003cbr\u003e 2. \"Just a small family\" \t16\u003cbr\u003e 3. \"A roving disposition\" \t22\u003cbr\u003e 4. The Last Frontier\t31\u003cbr\u003e 5. Rocking on the Bars \t35\u003cbr\u003e 6. Eldorado\t43\u003cbr\u003e 7. Fairbanks\t50\u003cbr\u003e 8. Kantishna\t55\u003cbr\u003e 9. Joe and Fannie \t62\u003cbr\u003e10. Hard Rock\t67\u003cbr\u003e11. \"An accurate observer of nature\"\t73\u003cbr\u003e12. Community\t80\u003cbr\u003e13. The Great Mountain\t86\u003cbr\u003e14. Struggle\t95\u003cbr\u003e15. Postwar Resurgence\t99\u003cbr\u003e16. Expansion\t109\u003cbr\u003e17. Celebrity\t118\u003cbr\u003e18. Flight\t124\u003cbr\u003e19. Back Home\t129\u003cbr\u003e20. Cave In\t138\u003cbr\u003e21. Cashing Out\t144\u003cbr\u003e22. Still Rovin'\t155\u003cbr\u003e23. Seattle\t162\u003cbr\u003eChapter Notes\t169\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\t185\u003cbr\u003eIndex\t189","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040465977687,"sku":"9781476679273","price":24.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476679273.jpg?v=1750946845","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/joe-quigley-alaska-pioneer-9781476679273","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
