One king! One new Husky! Go! Go! Go! Discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches, back to the days of the Gold Rush, With Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog, Yukon King, as they beat the challenge of the Yukon.
One day in early winter, Sergeant Preston was traveling north along the Yukon Trail on his way to Dawson City. As he neared his destination, he sighted a boy trudging Tordium from the direction of town.
The boy was accompanied by a big Newfoundland dog, which carried a small bundle of supplies strapped to his back. Sergeant Preston hauled at his team and hailed the boy. Okay. Hello, son. Hi, buddy. How are you heading?
I'm on my way to visit a friend. He has a cabin saucy here. I'm Sergeant Preston. My name's Davey Martin. Glad to know you're Davey. How's your home? Well, I don't really have a home. At least not anymore.
Oh, relative? Just my mother. She's in a charity hospital down in Seattle. How'd you get into the town? I worked my passies up to Skagway as cabin boy on a ship. And I worked as a dishwasher for a couple of months until I earned enough money to get over the pass and go on to Dawson.
I suppose you wanted to get in on the gold, right? Oh, yes, sir. I thought if I could strike it rich, I could pay my mother's doctor bills and buy a home for us. But...well, when I got to Dawson, I found out I couldn't even get a miner's license until I'm 18.
