    La fiebre del oro del Klondike.

    En 1898 se dirigió hacia el norte, atravesó el paso de Chilkoot y llegó a Dawson City.

    Allí volvió a hacer lo que mejor sabía hacer: montar un negocio y buscar oro al mismo tiempo.

    Abrió un restaurante y también consiguió una concesión minera.

    Una mujer irlandesa que había llegado a Estados Unidos huyendo de las consecuencias de una de las mayores tragedias de la historia de Irlanda había terminado buscando oro en el Yukón.

    No está mal para una vida.

    Durante sus últimos años siguió moviéndose entre Alaska, Canadá y la costa del Pacífico.

    Finalmente se instaló en Victoria, Columbia Británica.

    Murió allí el 4 de enero de 1925.

    Tenía alrededor de 79 años.

    Para entonces ya era conocida con varios sobrenombres: el «Ángel de Tombstone», el «Ángel de Cassiar» o el «Ángel de los mineros».

    Pero quizá esos nombres se quedan cortos.

    Porque Nellie Cashman no fue solamente una mujer caritativa que ayudaba a mineros enfermos.

    También fue una mujer que hizo dinero, compró y vendió negocios, invirtió en minas, recorrió territorios peligrosos y tomó decisiones que en aquella época muchos hombres tampoco se habrían atrevido a tomar.

    Y hay algo que me parece especialmente interesante de su historia.

    Nellie nunca necesitó convertirse en «la mujer de alguien» para que su vida tuviera sentido.

    Fue Nellie Cashman.

    Y punto.

    Una inmigrante irlandesa que llegó a Estados Unidos siendo joven y terminó convirtiéndose en una de las mujeres más conocidas de la frontera minera.

    No sabemos cuánto de las historias que circulan sobre ella es completamente cierto.

    Pero sí sabemos algo bastante más interesante:

    lo que hizo de verdad ya era suficientemente extraordinario.

  13. At long last, after about 20 or so tries to complete game #5 I finally did it! 🥳

  14. A Tlingit woman had a pivotal role in starting the Klondike Gold Rush. But Shaaw Tláa, also known as Kate Carmack, has been overlooked in historical accounts compared to the men she helped keep alive, according to her relatives.

    On August 17th, 1896, Keish, the son of Kaachgaawáa, chief of the Tagish Deisheetaan, made the gold discovery on Rabbit (Bonanza) Creek that would spark off what would become known as the Klondike Gold Rush.

  19. Leading up the Coronation, I'll share various created images of King Charles III.

    In 2001, then-Prince Charles visited the Yukon for the very first time, spending one day in Whitehorse.

    Here he is, as a Klondike gold prospector circa-1898ish.

    Day Two

    An unidentified man pans for gold in the Klondike River in the early-1900s. At that point, the Klondike Gold Rush had come to an end, but many prospectors still tried their luck in the region.

  26. Today in 1897, a dance hall girl accidently starts a fire at a dance hall in Dawson City. That same girl accidently starts another fire on Oct. 14, 1898 that destroys the post office, bank and two saloons.

    I'm beginning to think they weren't accidents

  28. Though a #fantasy #comic, The Kobold's Claim is deeply inspired by western gold rushes - especially the #Klondike rush of the late 1890s. The opening image, in fact, is based on a photo of prospectors in Chilkoot Pass! The forests and mountains are heavily inspired by #Banff. I joked in a recent interview that Canada was often used as a stand-in for a lot of other places in films, so why shouldn't it do the same in comics? kck.st/3sM9ouP
