520 $aThe story of a remarkable woman in the North American frontier. If Horatio Alger had imagined a female heroine in the same mold as one of the young male heroes in his rags-to-riches stones, she would have looked like Belinda Mulrooney. Smart, ambitious, competitive, and courageous, Belinda Mulrooney was destined through her legendary pioneering in the wilds of the Yukon basin to found towns and many businesses. She built two fortunes, supported her family, was an ally to other working women, and triumphed in what was considered a man's world.
