The Quest of Gold (1911)
The siren call to the wild life of the gold fields is fraught with wonderful promise and much uncertainty. The lucky are the few, and the disappointed many. As we watch the men of grit start out and pursue their way on dog sleds and snow shoes, climbing the northern Alps of Alaska, frequently swallowed up by the yawning canyons, snow-lined like whited sepulchers or dropping dead from exposure and fatigue by the wayside, we readily agree that they deserve all the good fortune they may acquire. There are no homes in these parts and no conveniences, no machinery for mining their claims here; they are obliged to whipsaw and hew form the trees of the forest these necessities, all of the crudest construction, but very essential to their achievements. A log cabin is a palace, a tent is a shelter and a refuge from the severity of the weather, which often blasts their fondest hopes.
