"As a close, even if incoherent, statement of the minute happenings of the years 1897 and 1898, and of personal experiences during the 'cruder' and more interesting period of the Klondike stampede, the book may be read with both interest and profit...

random statements. Her adventures are related in a lively and
amusing manner...The brightness and good nature, superficiality,

stand out in bold relief on every page." Nation, 1898.
