This 1897 color lithograph cover, issued by the Chicago Record Company, dresses a guide for readers chasing gold in the Klondike. Gold had been struck on Bonanza Creek in August 1896, and by 1897 newspapers were filling with reports of fortunes and hardship, drawing thousands of prospectors toward the Yukon. The Chicago Record, a daily newspaper, packaged practical advice for those planning the difficult trip north to the Klondike River valley.
