This film has a right to boast. It is totally worthy of Jack London fans, and anyone who appreciates lyrical phrasing will enjoy this romanticized telling of the great Alaskan gold rush. While it may not be a runaway box office hit, it fulfills the essentials of great story-telling in such a way that it will endure for generations. Critical literature should receive the script as it would the work of Twain, London, or Melville. It is honestly that good.

As a long time student of history, I have always been fascinated with the Klondike/Yukon gold rush of the 1890's and this mini-series, developed by the Discovery Channel, did not disappoint. What's interesting to note is, several years ago, Nat'l Geographic produced a video entitled, Ghost Ships of the Yukon/Klondike? about all the abandoned ships and boats along the Yukon. And during their investigation, they searched for the wreckage of the small, home built kit steam boat, AJ Goddard and they found it at the bottom of Lake Bennett? after it was abandoned in a storm on the lake, perfectly preserved. Well, lo and behold, guess what shows up in the latter part of this mini-series, a replica of the AJ Goddard taking aboard those people who wanted to depart Dawson City/Yukon before the winter set in. It's those little details which made the mini-series very satisfying for me.Read full review
