Nellie Cashman was a woman ahead of her time - independent, resourceful and adventurous, flinging away the restricting conventions of her day. Still, all who met her became intrigued by this determined petite Irishwoman who became known as the Angel of the Cassiar, the Miner's Angel, the Saint of the Klondike, and few ever forgot their encounters with her. Fueled by gold fever, she traveled the West, and her reputation grew with every restaurant, boardinghouse and store she established to support herself while she hunted the elusive yellow mineral, all while raising her beloved sister's five children. From San Francisco to Tombstone, Mexico and British Columbia, her notoriety grew, finally taking her to the place she loved best - the farthest reaches of Alaska Territory. She never grew rich from her endeavors, because she gave most of her money away to build hospitals, schools and churches everywhere she went, always taking care of anyone who needed a helping hand. Golddigger is a testament to Nellie - bringing to life this woman who gave life and hope to so many others. Including never before seen photographs and documents from Nellie's family, Kathleen Morris paints a definitive and honest portrait of Nellie Cashman - philanthropist, adventurer, and a woman of substance like no other.
