| 520 | _a"North" by James B. Hendryx is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the Yukon during the first fever of the Klondike discoveries, it follows the legendary sourdough Burr MacShane, whose skill, generosity, and restless urge for new country shape a vivid portrait of frontier life. Around him gather miners, gamblers, and dance-hall girls in early Dawson, where hard work, risk, and rough fellowship define the camp. The story blends gold-rush stakes with frontier ethics as MacShane turns from certain riches toward the unknown “north.” The opening of the novel plunges into Dawson’s first winter after Bonanza and Gold Bottom, where men “burn in” frozen ground, then drift to town for Christmas. MacShane proves his claim’s richness with a pan worth over a hundred dollars, organizes a joyous, improvised children’s Christmas at the Golden North Saloon, and watches Horse Face Joe play an inspired night that ends in a fatal binge. Old Man Gordon—pious, stubborn, and poor—loses at cribbage, tries to wager his claim, and is refused; later, MacShane quietly returns the gold he won by salting Gordon’s shaft for the sake of Gordon’s wife and daughter. When Gordon washes a spectacular pan the next day and a stampede brews, Camillo Bill reveals the truth, averts chaos, and forms a working partnership on MacShane’s claims—just as MacShane slips out of Dawson, following his hunch farther into the dark, frigid North.
