Yukon Gold. The Yukon gold rush was one of the last great North American gold rushes. Fifty years after the gold rushes of the California, Oregon, Nevada, etc. The thick rows of miners ready to explore and prospect for gold in the frozen northland thinned out across the wide expanse of the Yukon. The great frozen northland took much more planning and preparation to conquer than the relatively temperate climes of the south. Prospectors heading north in Canada were required to bring a years provisions, and often stripped of firearms. The Canadian Mounties waited at the
tops of passes to make sure the prospectors were in compliance.
Some prospectors found gold, some found silver, and some found very large bears.
Characteristics
Very woody, earthy, with a light dusting of charcoal and soot; like the depths of a gold mine etched into the frozen permafrost.
