Blue Parka Man: Alaskan Gold Rush Bandit

A republished edition to the original 1980 book, this is the true story of Charles Hendrickson, an outlaw who was the terror of the trails leading to Fairbanks during the spring of 1905. Armed and masked, identified only by his blue parka, he eluded the law with the same ease that he robbed miners of their gold. During that period, the Fairbanks News reported that about 6,000 mining claims had been staked and recorded in the Fairbanks district.
