The Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s drew gamblers of all stripes - professional gamblers, con men, shady ladies, and some business buccaneers. All were gamblers-bucking the odds, betting all they had and even their very lives The Klondike Gold Rush was the last vestiges of the Old West, replete with the blood lust for gold, chicanery, betrayal, and gun fights.
