The Caribou Hotel: Hauntings, hospitality, a hunter and the parrot

2019-2020 Reviewers Choice Award Honorable Mention. Every copy (including the ebook) signed by Bessie Gideon, who has resided in the hotel since her death in 1933. Navigating the fine lines between historical documents and local lore this frank, funny, insightful and well illustrated book brings to life in a lovingly told story the experiences, events and personalities of one of the most historically rich buildings in the north. The Caribou Hotel played a central role in the north that ranged from hosting the last living link to the Klondike Gold Rush, to the building of the world renowned Alaska Highway and the U.S. Army's pipeline debacle that put Harry Truman in the White House. Playing host to the rich and famous of the early 20th century, it gave them an unforgettable life experience far from the pretensions and social parlors of their Hollywood, New York and London, England homes. It is also one of Canada's most famous haunted hotels, being featured on a ghostly stamp released by Canada Post in 2015 and designated as a historical site by the government of Yukon in 2008.
