Title A Daughter of the Snows
Credits E-text prepared by Al Haines
Summary "A Daughter of the Snows" by Jack London is a novel written in the early 20th century that explores themes of adventure, survival, and personal growth against the backdrop of the Klondike Gold Rush. The story centers on the character Frona Welse, who embarks on a journey to her family's log house in Alaska, navigating the chaos of gold-rushers and the struggles they face. The opening of the novel sets the scene aboard a steamer overrun with eager gold-seekers, where Frona is introduced as a determined and spirited woman, ready to confront the challenges ahead. She interacts with various characters, including the first officer, who expresses sympathy for her situation, and Del Bishop, a ferryman who becomes her guide. Frona navigates the bustling landscape, brimming with men fighting for their stakes in the gold rush, while reminiscing about her childhood in the area. As she arrives at her destination, she begins to recognize the remnants of her past amid the stark transformations brought about by the influx of prospectors and the relentless pursuit of wealth, establishing her connection to the land and her determination to thrive in it.
