The Right Way On — Klondyke 1898

W.H.T. Olive records a year spent overseeing riverboats for the Bennett Lake & Klondyke Company during the Yukon Gold Rush of 1898. His memoir combines operational detail with first‑hand observations of life on the Klondike frontier.

Olive concentrates on the challenges of moving people and supplies across remote waterways: seasonal navigation, equipment and crew decisions, and the improvisation required amid the rush. These practical accounts reveal the logistics behind the gold rush and the human interactions that shaped it.

Useful to historians and readers interested in Yukon history, exploration, and transportation, the book offers a grounded contemporary perspective on a pivotal year in northern Canadian history.
