Why read it?

1 author picked The Golden Grindstone as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m recommending this book because I think it’s the best book ever written about the Klondike Gold Rush. During his numerous adventures, the main character, George Mitchell, finds something far more valuable than gold. The book was so little known that I felt obliged to get it back into print as well as write an introduction to the reissue.

From Lawrence's list on the North.
