Thanks
I am working on a historical book (creative non-fiction), my husband’s grandfather’s story is the basis. He crossed the White Pass and would like some detail on Dead Horse Gulch; how deep it was. I’ve ridden the train years ago and hiked the Chilkoot, but can find little on the area where the horses fell. If you have any knowledge of this, could you please drop me a note?
Thank you so much.
