Great Klondike Discovery and Carmack’s Yukon Legacy
A calendar of events traces the Klondike gold rush origins with George W. Carmack credited for the Bonanza creek discovery. The piece outlines Henderson’s earlier work, the rush, and subsequent claims by Mackay McGillivray and Waugh, plus the 1807 voyage of the Excelator carrying gold to San Francisco. It also notes a separate Indianapolis Junior church success with sixty child members and a dedicated room.
