New York Times bestselling author Howard Blum expertly weaves together three narratives to tell the true story of the 1897 Klondike Gold Rush.It is the last decade of the 19th century. The Wild West has been tamed and its fierce, independent and often violent largerthanlife figuresguntoting wanderers, trappers, prospectors, Indian fighters, cowboys, and lawmenare now victims of their own success. But then gold is discovered in Alaska and the adjacent Canadian Klondike and a new frontier suddenly looms: an immense unexplored territory filled with frozen waterways, dark spruce forests, and towering mountains capped by glistening layers of snow and ice.In a truelife tale that rivets from the first page, we meet Charlie Siringo, a tophand sharpshooting cowboy who becomes one of the Pinkerton Detective Agencys shrewdest; George Carmack, a Californiaborn American Marine whos adopted by an Indian tribe, raises a family with a Taglish squaw, and makes the discovery that starts off the Yukon Gold Rush; and Jefferson "Soapy" Smith, a sly and inventive conman who rules a vast criminal empire.As we follow this trios lives, were led inexorably into a perplexing mystery: a fortune in gold bars has somehow been stolen from the fortresslike Treadwell Mine in Juneau, Alaska. Charlie Siringo discovers that to run the thieves to ground, he must embark on a rugged crossterritory odyssey that will lead him across frigid waters and through a frozen wilderness to face down "Soapy" Smith and his gang of 300 cutthroats. Hanging in the balance: George Carmacks fortune in gold.At once a compelling truelife mystery and an unforgettable portrait of a time in Americas history, The Floor of Heaven is also an exhilarating tribute to the courage and undaunted spirit of the men and women who helped shape America.
