Important developments such as Herschel Island whaling, pre-1900 fur trading, the post-World War II resource boom, a lengthy struggle for responsible government, and the emergence of Aboriginal political protest remain poorly understood. Placing well-known historical episodes within the broader sweep of the past, Land of the Midnight Sun gives particular emphasis to the role of First Nations people and the lengthy struggle of Yukoners to find their place within Confederation. This broader story incorporates the introduction of mammoth dredges that scoured the Klondike creeks, the impressive Elsa-Keno Hill silver mines, the impact of residential schools on Aboriginal children, the devastation caused by the sinking of the Princess Sophia, the Yukon's remarkable contributions to the national World War I effort, and the sweeping transformations associated with the American occupation during World War II. Completely revised with a new epilogue, the bestselling Land of the Midnight Sun was first published in 1988 and became the standard source for understanding the history of the Yukon."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 651 0 $a Yukon $x History. 651 7 $a Yukon. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01892691 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Morrison, William R. $q (William Robert), $d 1942- $e author. 776 1 $a Coates, Kenneth, 1956- $t Land of the midnight sun. $b Third edition. $k Carleton library series ; $k Carleton library series ; $w (CaOONL)20179036408 830 0 $a Carleton library series ; $v 202. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213012951.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A6F9B274580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
