The Alaskans plot
When gold was discovered in the Yukon in 1890, thousands of hopeful prospectors headed north for a chance to get rich. The easiest passage to the Yukon was through the small Alaskan port town of Skagway, which quickly grew into a bustling city. Adventurers Silky Harris and Reno McKee set out in this city in search of their fortune. Not to mine gold, but by making money from the hard-working, hardy miners who pass through the city.
