North To Alaska ~ Johnny Horton
North To Alaska ~ Johnny Horton The Klondike Gold Rush The Klondike Gold Rush was a frenzy of gold rush immigration to and gold prospecting in the Klondike near Dawson City in the Yukon Territory, Canada, after gold was discovered in the late 19th century. In August 1896, three people led by Skookum Jim Mason (a member of the Tagish nation whose birth name was Keish) headed up the Yukon River from the Carcross area looking for his sister Kate and her husband George Carmack. The party included Skookum Jim, Skookum Jim's cousin known as Dawson Charlie (or sometimes Tagish Charlie) and his nephew Patsy Henderson. After meeting up with George and Kate who were fishing for salmon at the mouth of the Klondike River, they ran into Nova Scotian Robert Henderson who had been mining gold on the Indian River, just south of the Klondike. Henderson told George Carmack about where he was mining and that he did not want any "damn Siwashes" (meaning Indians) near him. The group then headed a few miles up the Klondike River to Rabbit Creek, now Bonanza Creek to hunt moose. On August 16, 1896, the party discovered rich placer gold deposits in Bonanza (Rabbit) Creek. It is now generally accepted that Skookum Jim made the actual discovery, but some accounts say that it was Kate Carmack. George Carmack was officially credited for the discovery because the "discovery" claim was staked in his name. The group agreed to this because they felt that other miners would be reluctant to recognise a ...

614. North to Alaska (Johnny Horton) - John Walsh
Johnny Horton (1925-1960) was famous for his folk-style ballads. "North to Alaska" was written as the title song of the 1960 movie, a comedy Western, directed by Henry Hathaway and starring John Wayne and Stewart Granger. The song was a big hit, topping the Billboard Magazine's Country Singles Chart and reaching Number 4 on the Pop Singles chart. It is sung here by John Walsh at a session of the Hong Kong Folk Music Society at The Canny Man in Wanchai. It wasn't captured on the video, but John dedicated this song to Sarah Pailin, possible future American Vice President. (The next few days will tell.)
