Description

For decades the Whitehorse waterfront teemed with life as trains from the coast met boats bound for the Klondike goldfields. Edge of the River, Heart of the City captures those glory--days and takes the reader through the booms and busts of Whitehorse's past. This important new addition to Yukon history also provides readers with a historical walking tour of the Whitehorse waterfront.
