Publisher Description: Gold has the power to make men do dangerous things, including those attempting to make their fortunes in the gold rush of the 1890s. Many of those trying to strike it rich ended up frozen to death on Canada's Chilkoot Pass. But George M. Mitchell wasn't deterred by the failures of others. The Golden Grindstone is the biographical account of this intrepid Canadian adventurer, who, during this time, entered uncharted territories and dealt with hungry bears and howling wolves, along with the harsh reality of famine.
