Watched from Port Dover Ontario in 2024. In fact PD has its own history dating from then until now of course. This is more than marvellous, giving thanks for this clip of history.
I love your videos because you give names and dates and places. I can tell you do your research - it really helps to personalize those people from long ago.
The Klondike gold rush was the Yukon territory - Dawson city , and Skagway ,Haines, Juneau, and many creeks and tributaries in Alaska. All the miners would have sailed and paddlewheel there from Seattle or Vancouver.
Was a friend of an owner of an antique store in the 1980's , one day when I was talking to him a man came in and asked if he could get some help with an estimate of value on some firearms. The man had been a drag line operator on the Alaskan Pipeline and had kept two chests of firearms that he had snagged out of the permafrost. Those two spent hours going through the collector's catalogs, and I was ammazed at the history before me. Premium firearms discarded on goldrush trails. Most in almost new codition. My friend called about to others more knowledgeable as to where to get expert appraisals as it became apparent that some of the rifles were worth tens of thousands of dollars. My friend and his eife were treated to a very expensive dinner some weeks after.
The animals, you can still see skeletons of pack animals littered around White Pass, the river inparticular, where they just gave up through exhaustion & lay down dead.

And people today complain of how tough things are and want the government to do everything for them. My grandparents were from this era and they never got any handouts, or my great grandparents. They did it all themselves out in Saskatchewan just before it became a Province of Canada.
@@KathleenFurlong-dx5boit’s not that, these are all people who fled from europe in search of a better life. Most of the people who were constructing these stone buildings were already very rich and established and didnt have to move around a lot. Our pioneers were always on the go so constructing basic cabins was more feasible.
Lolol. You guys must be "Tartaria" drones... lapping up the Tartaria conspiracy coolaid. But if you had ever heald down a construction job... and were old enough to shave you would never buy into that silly fairy tale.
When we see old images of sex workers, let us not forget the circumstances that led people into sex work, and the conditions of that work. Most people were poor, and one step-a sudden illness, death, loss of employment-from destitution. Children were abandoned, dumped in orphanages that could be violent or cruel. From these circumstances came sex workers. Once in the trade, their lives were usually short and miserable. About 10-15% of the Canadian population had incurable sexually transmitted infections, such as syphilis and gonorrhoea. Easily a third of all mental health asylum patients had tertiary syphilis. Orphanages struggled with the children born with the congenital deformities and diseases of congenital syphilis. Altogether, let us not romanticize the past.
14:08 time. Notice, how HIGH that ' bar ' is. MUCH better, protection from thugs - gunners - thieves, etc. Built to withstand, probly even shotgun blasts. Moving ' up ' in the bar business. Better than low - American old west bars. Learnt, from Xperience. kamala hairris....has none. 0 . 0 . none , period . // Thanks, for the history lessons....Sir !
Because Nome Alaska was one of several routes to the Yukon . Prospectors would take a steamer from the American and Canadian west coast to Nome and then overland to the Klondike. Must faster than the inland trail.
Well documented history, very much enjoyed. Thanx for sharing.
The Klondike Gold Fields are not in Alaska - just saying.
@@paulsachs9975 yup they were in the Yukon!
Migrated to Canada in 1995, enjoyed this history of my adopted country.
Absolutely facilitated with this. Thank you , from a Canadian 83 year old in 2024.

One of my good friends Bill is 83 I’m 21 I go to his house to smoke and talk about what BC used to be I love his knowledge
"She was only a sawmiller's daughter but she gave him circular sores...".
Well done, thank you for sharing these incredible photos!
One of the few UA-cam Vids that are not the usual clickbait trash. I love this time period in North America. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing scenes from the past,thanks cheers
I love your videos because you give names and dates and places. I can tell you do your research - it really helps to personalize those people from long ago.
My great uncle was in Vancouver during this. He also climbed the Chilkoot pass.I loved his stories.
Thank you for the history lesson. Well done!!!
Great stuff! Thank you ICs.
Random vid showed up in my feed, and I have never enjoyed a YT video so much as this one... my goodness, that was wonderful.
Thank you soooo much.
Great historical pictures and information about my province and surrounding areas. Thank you for sharing. It is always good to know our history
this is BS
women built the Canadian railway plus attracted men
Give credit where it is due and end slavery!
Ahem the Klondike is a territory, not a province
Great stories from our past.
The Klondike is, has always was located in Yukon territory, Canada and, NOT located in Alaska as mentioned in the otherwise good video!
According to what we are told
The Klondike gold rush was the Yukon territory - Dawson city , and Skagway ,Haines, Juneau, and many creeks and tributaries in Alaska. All the miners would have sailed and paddlewheel there from Seattle or Vancouver.
Alaska borders the Yukon and the trail runs through both of them....
Amazing to be able to see this, ty for sharing
.
Loved every minute of it my friend. Thanks
This channel was a great find… love the content! Thanks for sharing.

Just watched all the videos. Enjoyed them very much and learnt a lot about the old west thanks from mark and Naomi Brisbane Australia. 14:16
Both beautiful and grim.
Always interesting look into the past. I never had the idea that dog teams worked with carts as well as sleds.

Very muddy back then, and everything looks cold. Excellent photos and well narrated. Overall, I feel sorry for the animals.
The animals, you can still see skeletons of pack animals littered around White Pass, the river inparticular, where they just gave up through exhaustion & lay down dead.
Fantastic video, the men wearing ties even if they are doing menial tasks
my ancestor came to Canada working for Hudson Bay Fur Company, 1825, 5 year contract, returned 1833 settled on farmland near Lachute Quebec, Archibald Murdoch
Very nice pictures; well done ( although Nome Alaska, and Toronto, are far removed from the Canadian Old West ).
If only I was a time traveler.... !
A very different Vancouver today and not for the better
Bet you it looks like India or China...
Photos of the Yuukon and the west are fascinating. But what about similar photos of the rest of Canada - 90% or more of the country?
And people today complain of how tough things are and want the government to do everything for them.
My grandparents were from this era and they never got any handouts, or my great grandparents.
They did it all themselves out in Saskatchewan just before it became a Province of Canada.
Very good on the whole, but Alaska is not in Canada.
It only referred to the Yukon trips of those travelling up to Alaska…….. most of the pictures are in Canada.
Klondike is in Canada
At the same time amazing European looking stone buildings were being built, or so they will have us believe...these people played no part in it.
I was thinking that while watching those amazing old pics...I don't think so
They had some sort of help. Perhaps not from this world?

Yes 1902 all history was changed including books etc but they didn’t get all of them
Lolol. You guys must be "Tartaria" drones... lapping up the Tartaria conspiracy coolaid.

All the diversity that built this place on full display

4:55 😊
💯👏
At 2:59 clarification. The Chilkoot trail is in Alaska and leads to the Klondike gold fields in the Yukon Territory of Canada.
Good to see Ho-ing was a backbone industry 😂
It blows my mind that if about 100 people from back then didn’t get together and have kids I wouldn’t exist.

Sex work is on of the oldest industries in the world. It’s not new.
Party pooper!
They went to great lengths to be exploited.
" those people complaining in 2024 about life in Canada should travel back in time to Canada 1890 " 😑
What is the name of that fiddle tune playing through this documentary please?
Videos?
The Klondike gold fields were in Canada, not Alaska.

Wtf did you mention kamala Harris for ? Your Brain is far too Polluted to be thinking Politics 24/7. Chill bro chill
I think we've been lied to about pretty much everything.
This picture does not show "indiginus" there for thousands of year? Before the photo.
What are you talking about?
Soapy Smith got what was coming to him. Too bad grifters aren’t dealt with similarly these days.
Donkeys not mules
Canada??
Is this why you posted so many Alaska photos??
Whaaaattt.
Where are all the diverse people that built this country.
Oh wait, they showed up after European Christians built it.
Old west is British Columbia bro not other provinces
What the hell has Alaska got to do with Canada? Or, is Alaska part of Canada now?
NO video only PHOTOS
If. this video is about old Canada why they is Alaska mentioned several times. Alaska belonged to Russia, not Canada
Because Nome Alaska was one of several routes to the Yukon . Prospectors would take a steamer from the American and Canadian west coast to Nome and then overland to the Klondike. Must faster than the inland trail.
Uhmmm...when are you going to share this "rare video"? All I see is old photos - some of which I have seen before.
Just whore-id conditions, dirty muddy cold wet and despicable 😢
Several of these photos remind me of No Name City. Population: male ** ........ time for me to dust off my dvd player; anyone care to join me? 😉
Cool video didn't see too many true Canadians just a handful or so most of them were foreigners from Europe somewhere.
What’s a true Canadian? During these times. True Canadians were the indigenous people.
@wbki-v7l Yup that's what I am
Disappointed no pics of Donald Trump's Grandfather's brothel. Source Canadiana channel.
Many factual errors and mispronounced names. Last time I checked Alaska was not part of the Canadian old west.
Canada had Alaska before the U.S did 😂
And now they r importing the same crap we r
The area where the maple tree is on Carrall street in Vancouver is called Gastown.
