Bob and Doug McKenzie in Klondike Fever
In the video Klondike Fever, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a pair of hysterical Canadian brothers who starred in “Great White North”, a improv which was broadcast on second city television for the show’s 3rd season when it streamed by the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in . Bob’s character is brought to life by actor Rick Moranis and Doug’s part is brought to life by the comedian Dave Thomas. The sketch was brought to life originally as an idea to both follow guidelines and mock silly Canadian content legislation, the characters became a pop culture phenomenon in both Canada and across the border. The pair soon became the focus of a classic comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
Documentary written, directed, and photographed by John Gordon Hill about the Klondike Gold Rush. Episode of Rediscovering America with David Hartman for the Discovery Channel.

From my experience, all the gold in Alaska and Yukon was picked up. I did a lot of panning and never even found a flake of gold.
I knew you would ruin this, Kiss my ass.
Very interesting program.
That was one great video. Thank you. Prospector from az.
Why rush in winter and why mandate that much equipment having to go up and down 30x. None of it makes sense.
Yukon is in Canada not U.S
I would like to see all the gold they found formed into a single cube. I bet it would weigh less than just one of the horses they worked to death!
The greedy bastards deserved all they got. Grief.
This is remembering Canada, not america
this was great!!
thanks for posting!
there is a stories from peoples and their adventures then in "Young Klondike," a popular magazine of the period. Each issue of "Young Klondike" was filled with often fanciful stories of the characters and events of the Alaska Gold Rush. The April, 1902, edition contained a story entitled, "My Encounter With Vampires," a first-person account by prospector Josiah Franklin concerning events that transpired in Caribou in the winter of 1901:
"People started going missing. Every morning, one, two folks was gone. At first we didn't think nothing of it, that's how things was in Caribou. People left. Then one night, Pete Dawson, the owner of the saloon, came running down the street hollering, waking everyone up. He said he'd been attacked by vampires, said he barely got away, and from the looks of him, with his clothes all torn up, he wasn't lying. So about twenty of us got together, waited till the sun came up, then we went looking for them. We checked all over, every building, every miner's camp. Found nothing.

That night, we drank us some coffee, hid in an alleyway and waited for them. Must have been after midnight when they came in. First there was this one man, a feller I recognized who had a claim out on Spring Creek. He came creeping through, like he was the scout or something. Then the rest of them came out of the shadows without even making a sound. There was five in all. We lit our torches and tried to surround them, but they turned tail and disappeared. Good thing we had dogs, because we would have never been able to catch up with them ourselves.
We found the dogs outside one of the abandoned mines and from the way they was barking we knew the vampires was in there. Problem was, none of us wanted to go in and finish the job. So we decided to blow up the entrance to the mine and trap them for good. We rigged up some dynamite and blew it up and a whole big bunch of rocks came crashing down around the entrance. I don't reckon a team of elephants could have cleared those rocks away. After that, we went back to the saloon and celebrated. And we never saw no vampires again."
If Mr. Franklin's account is true, then it might explain what happened to the Army engineers. Trapped in the chill depths of the mine on that night in 1901, the vampires likely were frozen solid. And they probably would have remained that way forever, had the Army engineers not arrived forty years later. In the course of blasting their way through the mountain pass, the engineers apparently opened up the entrance to the mine. As it was summer, the vampires must have been thawed out, after which they awoke, and eventually found their way to the camp.
3:18 George Carmack is related to my family, The carmacks are very close cousins to my father's side, He was 2nd cousin to my Great-great-grandfather Mint Elbert Barton, Man, finding out about your family is interesting, I visited George Carmack's Grave in Seattle, Washington June 5, 2022 (100 years after he died) and I payed some more respect to George Carmack. I plan to go back around September, to see him on his 161st birthday, may he rest in peace though.
Video made the gold rush come alive
Thank you!
Outstanding video. Thanks for posting. Remember David Hartman from back in the day. He does such a fine job perfect voice for this kind of documentary.
Nicely done!
Really Brilliant………… R W Service the Ballards… Very well done Thankyou
Today the average man cannot just go out and make a living off of gold mining OUR public lands. This is not because there is a shortage of gold, but rather the US and Canadian government has made it so incredibly difficult for the average man to dig for gold. The permits, environmental studies, legal costs, regulations, and bureaucracy is so expensive and difficult to navigate that youll spend tens of thousands of dollars and years before you can even move a single rock! This is proof that the "American dream" is dead!
I've been to 40 mile chicken eagle tok Taylor hwy dawson city .
David Hartman did a great job of bringing old Yukon back to life!
Excellent facts. Great pictures to bring it all to life
