Answer 1

Most of the articles talked about how hard it was to get there. Then when they did reach their destination there was no gold there. So not only was there no gold, but it was cold, icy, and snowy. The Canadian government said that they had to have a year’s worth of gold mining equipment and supplies before crossing the Canadian border such as warm clothes and outerwear; moccasins and boots; blankets and towels; mosquito netting; personal care items; medicine; first aid items; candles and matches; soap; approximately 1,000 pounds of food; tools and mining equipment; camping equipment.

Then on top of that, the trip was a death sentence for anyone, who was brave enough to go less than half of the people that dared to go made it to their destination. around 3,000 men made it only to be disappointed about their findings because it had taken a long time for word to get that far, and by the time anyone got there all the gold was gone.
