News of the strike did not reach the outside world until July 1897, when steamships heavily laden with gold arrived in Seattle and San Francisco. Coming off the heels of the severe economic depression caused by the Panic of 1893, this news triggered a massive, frantic migration of roughly 100,000 economically desperate prospectors, known as stampeders, who set off for the remote wilderness in hopes of striking it rich.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eISBN: 9780968195504 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e GC\u0026amp;C Stock #5353\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gillmore Coins \u0026 Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67961894469862,"sku":"5353","price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/6212\/8614\/files\/5353_1.jpg?v=1793815842","url":"https:\/\/gillmore.ca\/products\/the-klondike-gold-rush-photographs-from-1896-1899-by-graham-wilson-1997-1st-ed","provider":"Gillmore Coins \u0026 Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
