At the age of nineteen, Pete Haslam emigrated to America in 1895, and never saw his Laois family again. He made a small fortune in the Klondike Gold Rush, and then became one of the Pioneers who founded modern Alaska, where he spent a fascinating life as a gold miner, in the last frontier of Wiseman, seventy five miles north of the Arctic Circle.
