[Dawson: Tales of Dawson City Tour]
>>Narrator: Dawson City, a historic town with a story to tell.
A hub for miners and sourdoughs during the Klondike Gold Rush,
the town has been memorialized by literary greats
like Jack London and Robert Service.
As you drive through Dawson City, your driver guide will point out beautifully restored
historic buildings that will help you imagine what life was like for those tens of thousands
of men and women seeking their fortune.
Stop at the cabin that was home to Robert Service,
where a Parks Canada interpreter will introduce
you to some of the colorful characters made famous by the poet
rough and tumble Klondike characters like Sam Magee and the dangerous Dan McGrew.
Then, head out of town to see what all the fuss
was about - visit Discovery Claim, where the
first of the Klondike gold was discovered, and Gold Dredge No. 4 - a hulk of a machine
built to get men richer faster.
With a history of luck and literature, of hard-work and hangovers, Dawson City will
ignite your imagination.
