  Narrator : It was early summer of 1898 when Ezra Lambert finally reached the Yukon Territory. Everybody said it couldn't be done, bringing a wife and child along. But, Ezra had prepared himself well. The family left Sacramento in the fall of '97, traveled by boat up the Pacific coast of Vancouver, then booked passage on the Canadian Pacific Railway, inland to Calgary, and north to Edmonton. Of course, that was only the first leg of their journey. They still had 1,600 miles to go yet before reaching the gold fields. But now finally, they had arrived, the three of them. And it suddenly seemed that Ezra had lost all sense of time and distance. His mind could only think of a... great wealth waiting for them, just up ahead. Ezra was lucky, always happy, and he was counting on his good luck to lead the family to a rich gold strike.

• Narrator : Eve had bought kitchen supplies the family would need in Edmonton. 350 pounds of flour, 150 pounds of bacon, 50 pounds of beans, 10 pounds of tea, bakin' powder, salt, soap, and matches.
