Music of the Alaska-Klondike Gold Rush: Songs & History

The gritty lives of goldrush prospectors were also pervaded with music, from rowdy tunes that sent their boots stomping in dance halls to mournful laments for distant homes. Murray's book brings those sounds to life with sheet music for over 100 authentic goldrush songs, reproductions of lovely sheet music, commentary on musicians and songwriters, and a historical introduction to the people and events of the time.
