Abstract:
When Sven Olafsen reads an advertisement about gold in the sand of beaches in Nome, Alaska, he desires to go there and seek his fortune. When his sister Frieda asks to go to Nome as a housekeeper and nursemaid, Sven₂s dream comes true. Mama reluctantly allows them to go. Share Sven₂s adventures in the boom city of Nome in 1900 when an estimated 20,000 people arrived to extract gold from sand, and no prospector₂s claim was safe from claim jumpers.
