And there are lines of tents that stretch along the beach for 30 miles straight.

People are getting shot in the street.

There's sled dogs everywhere.

All of a sudden, there are 100 saloons where there used to not be saloons at all.

This same year, the same year all of this begins, a little girl is born about 40 miles away.

She's Inupiaq, and her name is Ada Deluktuk.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

And I can tell you, it is a tough trail.

It's very windswept.

So you have wind just coming off the Norton Sound and it's sweeping up into the hills and you have to fight not to be blown away.

The sled just wants to like flip over and roll and blow off the trail.

There's no trees.

There's no protection.

There's no shelter.

There's probably some huts belonging to prospectors, but it's very, very barren and very unprotected.

Ada and her sister are fighting their way along this trail, helping the dogs.

And partway through, they look in the sled and they see that their father has died.

Oh, my God.

At this point, the girls don't know what to do.
