Elden Pollock was a journalist with the Post-Intelligencer in 1898 who sold PIs in Alaska for four years. When this book was written he lived in Mt. Vernon, WA. "On February 22, 1898, the steamer Queen was plowing through the waters of the Inside Passage to Alaska. Aboard were some 600 fortune seekers--men, and women too, drawn from every corner of the nation to join the gold rush to the Klondike. So was Helene, daughter of quiet luxury in a far-off Chicago home, braving the frontier hazards to join her father in Alaska. The author, too.whose newspaperman's perceptions recognized the drama in which he was taking part. As Bill White, he tells that story with the realism of a trained observer actually on the scene. Helene of the Yukon reveals a new insight into the stirring years of the Klondike gold-rush." [from the dust jacket] "As a newspaper correspondent, he interviewed thirty passengers who had come out fro Dawson over the ice, a distance of 500 miles. This story is inspired by that incident. [from the dust jacket] Bonnie Marsh MAY be Bonnie Star Marsh who made drawings using electro etching. A "must have" for any collector of Klondike Gold Rush materials.
