The gold rush sparked it and the race was on to grab all the resources that were there.

“Into The Yukon” is a bronze of the “explorers” around 1910 to 1930. The rivers and lakes were the highways of the terrain. Ridin’ britches, a wool shirt and lace up boots became the uniform.

As a child in the early thirties, I wore that ‘costume’ to school, and on the kids right boot there was a small pocket with a snap cover that held a pocket knife. I don’t think it was on the adult boots, but I put one on “Into The Yukon” just for old times sake.
