Synopsis: Children of the Gold Rush portrays the lives of the indomitable kids who first came to Alaska and the Yukon Territory. In a land where freezing, dark winters and mosquito-filled summers challenged even the hardiest pioneers, the children had to be as tough as the adults and quick to adapt to new conditions -- learning to eat caribou and moose and dressing in fur. Some children left after a few years; others stayed and raised their own children in the frontier.
