All That Glitters: The Life and Times of Joe Ladue, Founder of Dawson City

About the author

Ed and Star Jones live in Dawson City and Sante Fe, New Mexico. For forty years they have retraced Ladue's steps in Canada and the United States.

Summary

Like many men of the nineteenth century, Joseph Francis Ladue (1854-1901) sought to rise from humble origins to a position of wealth - by way of the motherlode. His quest took him to the dusty, rowdy boomtowns of Deadwood and Tombstone and the unexplored territory of Canada's Yukon. This title tells the life story of this northern pioneer.
