Publisher's Summary
The Best Boots I Ever Ate is a 70,000 word, literary, historically accurate saga of the Alaska Gold Rush novel of three years in the life of an Alaska Gold Rush boomtown, from formation to demise, 1903 to 1906.
The drama is told via 31 interconnected short stories focusing on the unique characters and events of the Alaska Gold Rush. The drama starts with the formation of the community by reprobates and follows it as grows from an outpost with three taverns and a brothel through the nuts-and-bolts of civilizing - the arrival of the steamship company, establishment of the general store, coming of the telegraph and post office, and finally the formation of a bank.
The novel ends with the community teetering on the edge of extinction when it is discovered that the banker has absconded to Canada with every dime in the city.
