American Experience: The Gold Rush by Randall MacLowry It's available but you have to pay for it. $24.99 for the DVD. There's another documentary from PBS called the The Klondike Gold Rush and that's available on Amazon Prime as a rental for $3.99. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
