On this episode of Our American Stories, no woman figured more prominently on the Yukon and Alaskan frontiers than Belinda Mulrooney. She gained international fame as the richest woman in the Klondike and made and lost multiple fortunes. She became a character in novels, and her dog was the inspiration for Buck in The Call of the Wild. Here to tell her story is Roger McGrath, author of Gunfighters, Highwaymen, and Vigilantes: Violence on the Frontier.
