The Man From The Creeks

Governor General's Award-winning author Robert Kroetsch takes us back to the historic days of the Klondike Gold Rush with a gripping tale of three entrepreneurs desperate to strike it rich.

Fourteen-year-old Peek and his mother, known to most as Lou, hitch up with Benjamin Redd, a cooper with a secret stash of whiskey — he intends to sell it and buy into his friend Dan McGrew's claim in Dawson. The three of them endure avalanches, near-starvation, treachery, and a cast of colourful characters in their quest to reach the fabled city and find their fortune.
