Script Details
We call it the Gay Nineties a brash era where the rich got much richer, buying amazing newfangled inventions like telephones, light bulbs, and carpet sweepers.
At the same time, the poor got poorer: this was also the era of sweatshops and tenements. After the Panic of 1893 thousands of businesses failed people died of hunger on the streets and depression swept the country. A gold dollar coin was worth almost twice as much as a paper dollar; many had begun to hoard gold.
And then in July, 1897, two ships docked in San Francisco and Seattle.
The response was pandemonium. Klondike was suddenly a magic word a place where a lifetime of bad luck could be reversed with a few scoops of earth.
By then, it was late winter and that meant a special peril Avalanche! Native packers stayed off the trail and warned the inexperienced stampeders of the risk. Most ignored these warnings. On Sunday, April 3rd 1898, about 200 stampeders
finally realized the danger and fled down the trail. Unfortunately they were too late.
Over 100 people died in the avalanche. Some were shipped home to relatives, but many were buried in a quiet cemetery in Dyea (DIE-EE). But even as funeral services went on, the procession of stubborn men began inching back up the Chilkoot again. Portion of the script provided for audition purposes only:"
