Excerpt from Hunting for Gold, or Adventures in Klondyke Two years ago a friend of mine went out to the Yukon Valley. From the letters he sent me I have written the following story; also, as a slight acknowledgment of my deep obligation, I beg to dedicate this work to him.

Perhaps I may be blamed for getting my ad venturers too easily and quickly up to Dawson City. There are not many Argonauts so favoured by fate, I must admit, if my friend is to be believed; but I did not like to harrow the minds of my readers with too much realism.
