The Voyage of the Alaska Union Adventure, Danger, Scurvy, Romance. By Mr. Whitekeys

"Eighty Greenhorns from Chicago set out to strike it rich in Alaska in 1898. It was the largest Gold Rush expedition ever launched, and they had no idea what they were in for.

One of the prospectors, Charles Harris, toted a 40-pound camera with him during the entire odyssey, but his images have remained unseen for 120 years."

Mr. Whitekeys' words are overly diplomatic. Just listen to our interview podcast and you'll agree these boneheads should have a place in Guinness they even survived! Further, had they known it would be documented with a 40-piound camera, they would have died from embarrassment! No one struck it rich except us, the reader, through BIG fantastic photos, entertaining stories and through the storytelling genius from one of the best, Mr. Whitekeys!
