Alaska’s Ghost Ship, the CLARA NEVADA – and the $17 Million in Gold that Vanished

Episode 3: The Clara Nevada No saga of the Alaska Gold Rush would be complete without a touch of the mysterious.  Every rush has its eerie events, and the Alaska Gold Rush was no exception. Perhaps the most perplexing incident of that era was the saga of the Clara Nevada. Here was a tale of greed, robbery, and murder, along with a ghostly re-visitation. But it was more than that.  It is also one of the largest successful robberies in American history combined with the third largest mass murders in American history as well, surpassed only by the  Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and the 911 attack on the World Trade Center.   ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This podcast is sponsored by Author Masterminds and the Readers and Writers Book Club.  Check out the Author Masterminds Website Get to know the authors at The Readers and Writers Book Club _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Meet your host for Episode 3: The Clara Nevada Steve Levi is a 70-something writer in Alaska.
