John Gould
John Gould is a well respected and knowledgeable historian who was born in Dawson ninety years ago. He has an immense knowledge of Klondike history at his fingertips. Having lived here all his life he continues to uncover more and more fascinating facts about Dawson’s past.
John has assembled a collection of interesting news articles from Dawson’s early days which he has titled Dawson City a History of Growing Pains 1896 – 1906.
His selections paint an interesting picture of that time providing a valuable insight into what life was like here right after the great Gold Rush.
The work on this site is volunteered so it will take time before all 200 pages of his work are posted.
In the meantime please view these interesting links.

Great picture of John Gould and I’m looking forward to the rest of his work.

Great historical review, John Gould. I’ll head North in May to capitalize on the price of gold. Hello to Madeleine.
