Alaska's Gold Rush
Gracie has had to do a book report almost every month of school so far. This particular project is on a book called Alaska's Gold Rush. She had to pick a book on an actual event in history. She had to pick one scene and recreate it. After the town Dawson hadn't had any eggs for two years, a man finally made it there with live chickens. The crowd that gathered to watch the first egg be laid in Dawson was so large that the mounted police had to come and keep order. After the egg was laid it sold for $5 at auction. This was back in the 1800's when you could get a dozen eggs for 4 cents!
