⭐ Featured Review

An early, home-grown look at the Alaskan gold rush
by psteier β€’ 2000-09-08
6/10

"Quite well done when you ignore the melodramatic aspects of the plot. Interesting as an almost contemporary look at the Alaskan Gold Rush culture. The crossing of the Chilcoot pass scenes probably were borrowed from by Chaplin in 'The Gold Rush 1925)' and by other directors as well. Supposed to be the first feature shot in Alaska. Chechahco means tenderfoot or greenhorn in one of the Alaskan native languages...."

The word "chechahcos" is Inuit for tenderfoot or newcomer.
