Klondike Kate by Mandi Wickline:

Klondike Kate (1876-1957) grew up in Spokane as Kathleen Rockwell. She became known as Klondike Kate when she made her way to the Yukon, reportedly dressed as a boy, and wowed the miners as a dancer and entertainer during the Klondike Gold Rush. The “Queen of the Yukon” and “”Belle of Dawson” danced her way across the country and, after going through several fortunes and husbands, spent the last years of her life as a homesteader, activist and philanthropist in Oregon. Klondike Kate inspired a 1943 movie, and a troupe of women who appear in parades and on stages as the Royal Order of Klondike Kates.
