 This gold rush is immortalised in the novels of Jack London, and Charlie Chaplin's film "The Gold Rush".Robert William Service depicted with talent in his poetries the dramatic event of the Gold Rush, especially in the book "The Trail of '98".The main goldfield was along the south flank of the Klondike River near its confluence with the Yukon River near what was to become Dawson City in Canada's Yukon Territory, but it also helped open up the relatively new US possession of Alaska to exploration and settlement, and promoted the discovery of other gold finds.
