Off to Klondyke is exactly the kind of adventures young adults like best and that give them benefit, not harm. This tale relates the experiences of some English men, women, girls and boys, who have a hard time in getting to the Klondyke gold rush. They have adventures with grizzlies and wolves and Indians; they endure great sufferings and hardships, but their sturdy English constitutions and training bring them through (The Bookseller, Newsdealer and Stationer, Vol. 9, No. 1, September 1, 1898).
William Gordon Stables was born in 1840 in Aberchirder. After studying medicine at the University of Aberdeen, he served as a surgeon in the Royal Navy. He came ashore in 1875, and settled in Twyford, Berkshire, in England. Stables wrote over 130 books, mostly young adult adventure fiction, often with a nautical or historical setting.
