Confusing sentence

"White unhappy about plans in the north in 1902." I want to fix it but I don't know what it's supposed to mean. Is White a guy's name? " Is White meaning White people? Is it a typo? If it is supposed to be "While unhappy...", then 'who' is unhappy in 1902? The sentence doesn't make sense. Masterhatch (talk) 12:19, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I removed that sentence. If someone knows what it means, by all means, but it back in!Masterhatch (talk) 02:33, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Charlene Porsild’s claim that Americans weren’t the majority of Klondike stampeders

Charlene Porsild’s claim that Americans weren’t a majority during the Klondike gold rush is problematic because she uses 1901 census data to assert that, yet less than half of the people living in Dawson City at that time participated in the 1897-98 rush. Most were newcomers.

During the rush itself North West Mounted Police Commander Charles Constantine, Yukon Commissioner James Walsh, and writers Frederick Palmer, Jeremiah Lynch, and Tappan Adney all wrote that Americans constituted a large majority of the stampeders. So who you going to believe - the officials and correspondents who were there in 1898, or Porsild a hundred years later using questionable statistical analysis?
