Or didshe throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter?        Over 100,000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to becomemillionaires.    Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross aharsh wilderness.    Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvationand exposure to the cold weather.    The Canadian government finally started requiringthe gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them.    This was thought to beenough for a person to survive for one year.    They would carry their supplies inbackpacks each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to geteverything to the top and over the pass.    Whoever dropped the shoe must have been abrave and determined woman.    Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska.   Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat.    No one will ever know for sure, but what wedo know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.
