Excerpt from The Scarlet Life of Dawson and the Roseate Dawn of Nome Personal Experiences and Observations of the Author She made The men who were to be transformed into some k'gs??? so-called millionaires had never dreamed of the possibility of wealth and power. They left their farms, their work-tables, the saloons and gambling dens, all the wealth and Comfort of civilization which they were un able to buy, and gravitated toward the Northland. They had no ideas as to a consistent use of wealth, nor of the methods by which it is usually acquired; and, as a matter of fact, they had no definite knowledge as to the extent of their own capacity for enjoyment of the advantages wealth may secure to its possessors. Bacon, beans and our comprised their outfit of food. Log cabins, which they built at the post now called Dawson, became their homes. Most of them were trying to escape the tyranny of long hours of toil, and consequently were not seeking employment as prospectors.
