This edition of I Married the Klondike, by Laura Beatrice Berton, was published by Lost Moose, an imprint of Harbour Publishing, in 2005. In 1907, Berton left a comfortable life in Toronto to teach in Dawson City, Yukon, where she remained for the next twenty-five years, marrying into the Klondike and raising her family in the fading glamour of the post-gold-rush era. Among her children was Pierre Berton, who would go on to become one of Canada's most celebrated historians and popular writers, chronicling the very Klondike gold rush his mother had lived through. The memoir was first published by McClelland & Stewart in 1961. Printed and bound in Canada.

The Great Depression 1929–1939 by Pierre Berton (1990) is a compelling narrative history that draws on oral testimonies, memoirs, and firsthand accounts to illuminate one of the most difficult decades in Canadian life. Rather than focusing solely on economic or political analysis, Berton captures the lived experiences of ordinary Canadians, weaving their stories into a vivid portrait of hardship and resilience. Praised for its rich storytelling, the book brings the era to life with striking detail, from the Dust Bowl and crippling droughts on the Prairies to the eventual recovery as war production in 1939 helped lift the nation out of depression.
