Brian welcomes on two guests.Tim Welsh is author of "Ley Lines". This book is a fascinating exploration around the mythos of the gold rush and southern Canada's— and the world's—fascination with the North. Set in the waning days of the Klondike Gold Rush, Ley Lines begins in the mythical boom town of Sawdust City, Yukon Territory. Luckless prospector Steve Ladle has accepted an unusual job offer: accompany a local con artist to the unconquered top of a nearby mountain. There, the duo finds a seven-foot human ear, floating in a halo of light. This mysterious discovery briefly upends Sawdust City's fading fortunes, attracting a crowd of gawkers and acolytes, while inadvertently setting in motion a series of events that brings about the town's ruin.Then, he speaks with George Matuvi, author of "The War as I Saw It". George brings us into the world of a young boy living through a war he doesn't understand. As violence drives his family from their home in the mountains to the streets of Zimbabwe's towns and then cities, the author shares his family's story with honesty, composure and a touch of humour. Interspersed within this tale of flight, hardship and the eventual return to rebuild, Matuvi shares stories of his life as a child, from making soccer balls out of discarded plastic bags to the tales his father told around the fire at night, adding depth and joy to his portrait of a family struggling with displacement. "The War as I Saw It" is not a tragedy, though there were many tragedies during the war, it is a story of love, of strength in difficulty and of the ingenuity of one family as they cope with forces beyond their control.

Mining Stock Daily discusses the latest developments at Klondike Gold, focusing on their exploration strategy, drilling techniques, and the potential for new and significant gold discoveries. CEO Peter Tallman shares insights into the geological complexities of the Klondike region, the importance of targeting depth in drilling, and the company's plans for future financing and exploration. The conversation highlights the historical significance of the Klondike Gold Rush and the current efforts to uncover its hidden potential.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with debut Toronto author Tim Welsh about his novel, Ley Lines, published by Guernica Editions, 2025.  Set in the waning days of the Klondike Gold Rush, Ley Lines begins in the mythical boom town of Sawdust City, Yukon Territory. Luckless prospector Steve Ladle has accepted an unusual job offer: accompany a local con artist to the unconquered top of a nearby mountain. What he finds there briefly upends the town's fading fortunes, attracting a crowd of gawkers and acolytes, while inadvertently setting in motion a series of events that brings about the town's ruin. In the aftermath, a ragtag group of characters is sent reeling across the Klondike, struggling to come to grips with a world that has been suddenly and unpredictably upturned. As they attempt to carve out a place for themselves, our protagonists reckon with the various personal, historical and supernatural forces that have brought them to this moment. A wildly inventive, psychedelic odyssey, Ley Lines flips the frontier narrative on its ear, and heralds the arrival of an exciting new voice in Canadian fiction.

This Day in Legal History: Senate Approves Alaska PurchaseOn April 9, 1867, the United States Senate voted to ratify the Treaty with Russia for the Purchase of Alaska, approving the acquisition of the territory for $7.2 million. The deal, championed by Secretary of State William H. Seward, added over 586,000 square miles to U.S. territory. At the time, many Americans viewed the icy, remote land as a barren wasteland, mocking the transaction as “Seward's Folly” or “Seward's Icebox.” Despite public ridicule, Seward pursued the deal partly to prevent British expansion from neighboring Canada and to extend American commercial interests into the Pacific. Russia, for its part, saw little strategic or economic value in Alaska and feared it might lose the territory without compensation in a future conflict.The treaty passed in the Senate by a vote of 37 to 2, reflecting support among lawmakers despite popular skepticism. Legal authority for the purchase came through the treaty-making power of the executive branch, with Senate ratification required under Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution. Once finalized, the transfer of sovereignty occurred in October 1867 in Sitka, with a formal ceremony marking Russia's departure.Criticism of the purchase subsided decades later following the Klondike Gold Rush and, eventually, the discovery of significant oil reserves. These developments drastically changed the public's perception of Alaska from frozen liability to strategic asset. The purchase also helped lay the groundwork for America's growing influence in the Pacific and Arctic regions.President Donald Trump announced that major law firms pledging $340 million in pro bono work would assist his administration with coal industry initiatives and international tariff negotiations. Speaking at a White House event, Trump said these firms—such as Paul Weiss, Skadden, Milbank, and Willkie—would provide legal support for leasing and regulatory issues in coal mining, as well as in talks with foreign countries on trade. While he didn't specify which firms would take on specific tasks, Trump emphasized their legal talent and claimed they were offering services “for the right price.”The announcement coincided with Trump signing executive orders invoking the Defense Production Act to increase coal mining and directing investments into advanced coal technology. He also said the Department of Justice would be tasked with challenging state and local regulations he views as harmful to miners. The law firm agreements came after Trump targeted several legal firms with directives that threaten their business, prompting lawsuits from Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, and Jenner & Block. Trump posted the agreements on Truth Social, stating the firms would work on causes like veterans' rights and combating antisemitism, although details on how their roles will be determined remain unclear.Trump Says He'll Enlist Big Law Dealmakers for Coal, TariffsA group of 67 former top legal executives from companies like Microsoft, Intel, and Eli Lilly filed a legal brief condemning President Trump's executive orders targeting several major law firms. They argue that the orders violate the Constitution and threaten the independence of corporate legal counsel by coercing political loyalty through federal contract threats. The brief supports a lawsuit by Perkins Coie, one of the firms impacted by the orders, which claims the directives bar its attorneys from government buildings and jeopardize its clients' federal contracts.The former general counsels contend that Trump's actions don't just punish individual firms, but undermine the principle that companies should be free to choose their legal representation without fear of political retaliation. The brief highlights how the orders signal to businesses that hiring lawyers linked to Trump's critics could lead to government sanctions. Trump issued similar orders against WilmerHale and Jenner & Block, and all three firms have secured temporary legal blocks against the measures.While some firms like Paul Weiss struck deals with Trump to avoid penalties—agreeing to provide pro bono work for causes aligned with his administration—others have pushed back. Four days prior, hundreds of law firms submitted their own brief supporting Perkins Coie. Trump's administration defends the orders as efforts to stop perceived political bias in Big Law.Former top lawyers at major companies decry Trump orders against law firms | ReutersAn immigration judge has given the U.S. government through today to present evidence justifying the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student and lawful permanent resident. Khalil was arrested in New York and transferred to a detention facility in rural Louisiana, sparking concern over due process and free speech rights. At Tuesday's hearing, Judge Jamee Comans made it clear that if the government cannot prove Khalil is deportable, she will dismiss the case by Friday. She also criticized delays in sharing evidence and emphasized the importance of Khalil's due process rights.Khalil's lawyer, Marc Van Der Hout, claims the deportation effort is politically motivated and violates the First Amendment, suggesting that Khalil is being targeted for speaking out in support of Palestinians. The government argues Khalil should be deported under a Cold War-era law that allows removal if an immigrant is deemed a threat to U.S. foreign policy, and also accuses him of omissions on his green card application—charges he denies.The case has drawn national attention, including a crowded virtual courtroom. A separate habeas petition is also under consideration in federal court, and Khalil cannot be deported while that process plays out. His wife, a U.S. citizen who is expecting their child this month, has been unable to visit him due to her pregnancy.US given one day to show evidence for deporting Columbia University protester Khalil | ReutersA federal judge has ordered President Trump's White House to temporarily lift access restrictions on the Associated Press (AP) while a lawsuit challenging the ban moves forward. The Trump administration had barred AP journalists from events like Oval Office briefings and Air Force One trips after the agency refused to adopt Trump's preferred term, "Gulf of America," instead continuing to refer to the "Gulf of Mexico." U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, ruled that the First Amendment prohibits the government from excluding journalists based on viewpoint.The ruling, which takes effect Sunday to allow time for appeal, restores the AP's access to White House press events. McFadden emphasized that if some journalists are granted access, others cannot be denied for their editorial stance. The AP sued three senior Trump aides in February, claiming the restrictions were unconstitutional retaliation against protected speech and lacked due process.AP reporters testified that the ban hindered their ability to cover the president, while Justice Department lawyers argued that access to presidential spaces is a privilege, not a right. Press freedom groups and the White House Correspondents' Association welcomed the decision, calling it a win for independent journalism. The case remains ongoing, with a final ruling expected in the coming months.Judge lifts Trump White House restrictions on AP while lawsuit proceeds | Reuters This is a public episode.

If you were a prospector looking to make a fortune in gold in the late 1800's, you needed to make a trip to the Klondike in Alaska. Gold was discovered there by local miners in August 1896, and when news reached places such as Seattle and San Francisco one year later, it triggered an avalanche of men ready to try their luck.During the Klondike Gold Rush an estimated 100,000 prospectors travelled to this region of the Yukon in north-western Canada in the last years of the 1800's.The Red Onion Saloon was one of many businesses that made enormous profits during this time, keeping their patrons entertained during those cold dark winters, and today it is known as one of the most haunted places in Alaska.In this episode, we head north to Alaska to find out who or what is still haunting the Red Onion Saloon! Maybe, it's a Madam still keeping an eye out on her girls? Maybe, it's the ghost of a prospector who lost all of his money gambling at the card tables or got into a bar fight ? So, you better rug up and pour yourself a stiff brandy as we tramp through the freezing snow to discover the secrets of one of the most haunted sites in Alaska.

Hello! Please take our end-of-the-season survey at http://strongsenseofplace.com/survey! We'd love to hear from you. Seattle is a mashup of water and mountains — it just might be the ultimate outdoor playground. If you want to go hiking, camping, boating, biking, or meander in a beautiful garden, Seattle is a fantastic place to do all of that. It can also claim a vast realm of ‘firsts' in music, architecture, politics, and literature. (Not to mention Bigfoot sightings, if that's your thing.) There's grunge music, Elvis appearances, the Seattle Seahawks' 12th Man, an inordinate number of sunglasses, and more library cards than anywhere else in the United States.  The city also hosted two World's Fairs: the Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition in 1909 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Klondike Gold Rush (you do not want to miss the Two Truths and a Lie story about that one!) — and the Century 21 Exposition in 1962. That one tried to predict what life in America would be like in the year 2000 and beyond — which gave us the Space Needle, the Alweg Monorail, and a car shaped like a rocket. In this episode, we learn the stories of a few remarkable Seattle women, celebrate Seattle's superlatives, and share a bookish itinerary for the ‘Most Literate City in the Country.' Then we recommend seven great books that took us there on the page, including an unusual ghost story, a memoir about living in 1950s Seattle, a thriller set in the world of journalism, three graphic novels that will make you want to take a walk, and a modern fable set in the San Juan islands.

Send us a Text Message.Join us as we close out with the eerie and unsettling history of the Nahanni Valley, a remote and mysterious region in Canada's Northwest Territories. Known as the "Valley of Headless Men," Nahanni Valley's dark legend truly took shape during the early 20th century, at the height of the Klondike Gold Rush. It began with the gruesome discovery of the headless skeletons of Willie and Frank McLeod, two brothers who ventured into the valley in search of fortune but never returned. As the decades passed, more bodies turned up—each death more mysterious and chilling than the last. In 1917, prospector Martin Jorgenson was found decapitated near the ruins of his burned-down cabin. In 1927, "Yukon" Fisher's skeleton was discovered not far from where the McLeod brothers met their end. And in 1931, the charred remains of Phil Powers were found in the ashes of his cabin, a death attributed to a faulty stovepipe by authorities, though many suspect foul play.These cases are just a few of the many eerie incidents tied to the Nahanni Valley, a place where fortune seekers often vanished without a trace. Was it the work of feuding prospectors, wild animals, or perhaps something more sinister—a vengeful spirit, a hidden tribe, or even the terrifying Waheela, a creature of legend rumored to guard the valley's secrets? In this episode, we wrap up these chilling mysteries and dark surrounding one of the most haunted and feared places on Earth. Are you brave enough to uncover the truth behind the Valley of Headless Men? You might just run in to something dangerous.  Merch store- https://indigenoustales.threadless.com/Email us at info@behillnetwork.com Also check out our Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/indigenous_tales/And our TikTok -https://www.tiktok.com/@indigenous_talesAmanda Bland Dallas area Bakeryinstagram - https://www.instagram.com/cupidsweetsbakes/Cupid Sweets- https://www.facebook.com/cupidsweets

In this newscast: Dog sledding is an iconic piece of Alaska's history — from its roots in Alaska Native culture to the Klondike Gold Rush to the Iditarod — it's stood the test of time. And today, it's taken on a new form to help it survive: excursions for the ever-booming cruise ship tourism industry; Two Alaska State Troopers are being charged with assault for using unreasonable force while arresting a person in Kenai who they thought was someone else. That's according to criminal charges filed Wednesday.

USS The Sullivans is berthed now at the Buffalo Naval and Servicemen's Park in New York. We learned a lot about USS The Sullivans when we toured the USS Yorktown in June 2024. It's a very different name for a ship and that's because it was named for five brothers who all died aboard the same ship when it was sunk by a Japanese submarine during World War II. Those brothers just may be haunting their namesake. Or maybe there are other spirits here. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of USS The Sullivans. The Moment in Oddity features the Father of the Marathon and This Month in History features the Klondike Gold Rush. Our location was suggested by Erica Merhoff.

In October of 1918, just days before the end of the first World War, a the Princess Sophia ran aground on Vanderbilt Reef and sank into icy Alaskan waters. Every single one of the over 350 people aboard perished despite rescue boats circling the ship for nearly two days, nearly within arms reach. What has gone down in history as the worst maritime disaster in the history of the pacific northwest has largely been lost to history, but baffles everyone who hears her tale.

Der Goldrausch, der 1896 in Alaska ausbricht, ist nicht der einzige der Geschichte – aber einer der bekanntesten. Die Gier nach Geld veranlasst Zehntausende Goldsuchende, fürchterliche Strapazen auf sich zu nehmen, und das mit minimaler Wahrscheinlichkeit auf Erfolg. Gauner, Profiteure, Geschäftsfrauen und Menschen, die nichts mehr zu verlieren haben, schaffen eine Art Wilden Westen im höchsten Norden. Was waren das für Menschen, die sich dort auf den Weg machen?

Amon will be reading the first Chapter from White Fang by Jack London tonight. White Fang was first published in 1906. It follows the journey of a wild wolf-dog hybrid named White Fang, born in the harsh wilderness of the Yukon Territory during the Klondike Gold Rush. It's one of Jack London's most famous works, alongside "The Call of the Wild." Both novels explore similar themes of survival and the struggle between civilization and the wild.

Happy Spooky Wednesday and Happy Homegrown month, dear listeners! This week we have special guest Abe Curran of Winzige Hosen and many other Duluth bands! First up, Kala talks about Red Onion Saloon in Skagway, Alaska! This building was once a brothel during the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 1800s. It's now a popular restaurant and bar that has embraced its history in the form of both its brothel museum and it's ghostly inhabitants. When you visit, will the encounters be of the sensual kind or “push me down the stairs” kind? And Brittany tells us all about the Dybbuk box. This story has us screaming “WHY, KEVIN!?” as our story's protagonist misses all the hints and makes a bunch of dumb choices.

Alaska sets aside a day each year to honor William Henry Seward, Secretary of State under President Abraham Lincoln. Among other things he's known for negotiating the U.S. Government's purchase of Alaska in 1867, ushering in subsequent American colonialism in the 49th state, including the Klondike Gold Rush and other resource exploitation that largely ignored the original inhabitants. GUESTS Benjamin Jacuk (Dena'ina Athabascan and Sugpiaq), researcher at the Alaska Native Heritage Center Jackson Polys (Lingít), multidisciplinary artist and carver Curt Chamberlain (Native Village of Aniak), assistant general counsel for the Calista Corporation Lee Farrow, distinguished research professor and distinguished teaching professor, and chair, in the Department of History and World Languages at Auburn University at Montgomery

We're back with our coldest episode yet, covering North America's most overshadowed gold rush - the Yukon/Klondike - that spanned 1896-1899 and yielded MORE GOLD than the California gold rush, which lasted twice as long. Featuring: outdoorsy gambling addicts, deadbeat dads, lady-yeast, the boom town of Dawson, a scamming willy wonka type, and what we think is too many dead horses.   The Klondike Stampede saw 100,000 inexperienced hopefuls journeying West in search of cold gold, but only 30,000 made it to the gold fields, and only a few dozen actually made it out with a meaningful haul.  (Song for reference) "Everybody works but father" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT9HcyI2pOo Check out other places to listen here: https://linktr.ee/overshadowed_podcast Suggestions for a sibling or spouse we should cover?

Is Alaska stuck in the myth of the big strike?On this week's bonus episode, we speak with Kathryn Morse, a professor at Middlebury College and author of The Nature of Gold: an Environmental History of the Klondike Gold Rush.I loved speaking with Kathryn because she is both incredibly knowledgeable about the Klondike Gold Rush,  and an astute observer of how gold rush era myths inform Alaska's identity and politics today. We discuss the crisis in American identity that coincided with the Klondike Gold Rush, why gold's value was seen as "natural," and how myths from this era are still shaping Alaska's trajectory.Note that there were technical issues with the recording of this episode that impacted the audio quality. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do too!Instagram | Facebook | Twitter

Historian Ian Hartman is an Associate Professor and Department Chair at the University of Alaska Anchorage. He teaches history from the bottom up, meaning he looks for how regular, working class people have been agents of change throughout history. This is the opposite of how so much of history has been recorded, which has looked at it through the perspective of The Great Man Theory. The Great Man Theory, as it relates to history, looks at leaders and other perceived great men as heroes and the sole agents of change. Ian points to the Civil Rights movement and the general cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s for shifting our understanding of history. Ian is also a public historian known, most recently, for his work on the history of the Alaska Railroad and a book he co-authored with Alaska public historian David Reamer about the history of the black experience in Alaska. The book, Black Lives in Alaska: A History of African Americans in the Far Northwest, details how Black men and women have participated in Alaska's politics and culture since before statehood. How Black history in Alaska is almost by default a history of the bottom up. It's a history that involves racial discrimination, but also involves people mobilizing themselves in the face of that discrimination. How they were, and are, agents who are capable of forging social movements and solidarity. They rose up and involved themselves in the workings of the state.  His work on the Alaska Railroad will soon be on display — along with the work of other experts — at an Anchorage Museum exhibition titled All Aboard: The Alaska Railroad Centennial. The exhibition highlights crucial moments, technological innovations and human stories connected to the railroad and its operations in Alaska. An interesting fact about the people who originally worked on the Alaska Railroad is that the majority of them came from Alaska. They were already in the state working the Klondike Gold Rush and, when that ended, workers — who were generally young, single men — found more work helping to construct the railroad.

Jefferson 'Soapy' Smith had a different sort of destiny than his siblings, who were doctors and lawyers. Soapy led a dishonest life that included bribery and graft, fraud, theft, and extortion. When he discovered that he could make more money with less effort by being clever, he changed his line of work to running confidence games on gullible westerners, from soaps scams Colorado to fleecing prospectors in Alaska.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NEARLY 50 YEARS ago, the Good Friday Earthquake changed Alaska forever. It killed nine people and slammed the West Coast with tsunamis that killed 122 more, including four in Oregon. It did something else, too, though: It heaved up the seafloor of the Inside Passage near the ghost town of Katalia by a good 12 feet. And in the process, it brought something up to the surface that was a very important piece of the history of Alaska … and, earlier, Oregon. It was a small wooden-hulled steamship with a screw propeller. Most of the wood had been eaten away by time and wildlife, but the steam engine and other hard parts were still there and visible. This wrecked ship turned out to be the remains of the S.S. Portland, the most famous steamer in Alaska's history, the one that kicked off the Klondike Gold Rush when it arrived in Seattle in 1897 with the famous “ton of gold” on board. The Portland was almost like the mascot of the Klondike Gold Rush, so Alaskan history buffs were very excited about the find. But Alaska wasn't the only state with cause for celebration. The Portland had a prominent role in Oregon's history too. It had been as notorious in early-1890s Portland as it became famous in late-1890s Alaska. Before the ship was bought by a Seattle shipping company and renamed the S.S. Portland, its name was the S.S. Haytian Republic. It was based out of Portland, and it was probably the most notorious smuggling ship on the West Coast. It was operated by a group of smugglers whose clumsiness and ineptitude was like something out of a Keystone Cops comedy, so its name was in the newspapers a lot. Every reader in Portland knew that ship, and knew the names of its owners: Nat Blum and William Dunbar of the Merchants Steamship Company.
