A true tale of the last frontier and the Yukon gold rush by Howard Blum
The true story of three men in Alaska and the Yukon and the beginning of the gold rush. Siringo is a cowboy turned detective, Carmack lives with the natives for a while and then discovers gold in Klondike, and Soapy Smith is a con man who aims to be king -- of somewhere.
This is a pretty long book but a great combination of history and adventure. Recommended.
