On the Frozen Klondyke--Pitching 'Our Tent on the El Dorado Creek--Building a House--Putting Ourselves on Bations--Our First Beefsteak for Months --Starting Our First Shaft Down to Bed-Bock-- Beaching Pay Dirt!--Fifty Dollars to the Pan-- Working With a Will Through the Dark Winter Days. Finally the Klondyke froze over and we struck camp and loading our sleds started up the river. The surface of the ice in these rivers is very rough, as when the freeze begins there is strong objection made by the current to being frozen in. The ice breaks loose and drifts down until it lodges against a bank, bar, or other ice, when the freeze continues. It freezes out from the banks and obstructions and. finally spans the whole river. This ice is dislodged and is then called "slush ice," and in breaking up at the jams forms a very rough surface. We managed, however, to wend our way up the Klondyke, then along Bonanza Creek until we reached Eldorado Creek. At this time, gold had not been found in any quantity on the Eldorado. Here we pitched our tent and commenced work on a house for winter quarters. The season was late and we must hurry it as much as possible. We got logs and placed them, one upon another, putting a thick layer of BUILDING US A CABIN 91 moss between, and covered the roof with moss and dirt to the depth of a foot. Fortunately, we had been able to procure a sash and a pair of hinges at Dawson City, so we had a window and a swinging door as luxuries. We called this cabin "Moss House" and it was here that we remained during the long, cold, dark winter. Of course we made some furniture, which was more useful than elegant. We had now secured a roof over our heads (so to speak), and as our larder was reasonably well stocked we felt...
Download or read book Gold Rush Grub written by Ann Chandonnet and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ann Chandonnet brings us a rollicking history of gold rush food complete with hearty recipes ranging from sourdough flapjacks to stewed porcupine. From miners meals and home remedies to holiday fare, beverages, and housekeeping, Gold Rush Grub follows the trail of stampeders from Sutter's Mill in California to Alaska and the Klondike. The first food history of its kind, Gold Rush Grub presents a panoramic view of an exciting period in American history. The grub that stampeders ate was affected by everything from arctic weather to Pacific Coast agriculture and Midwest meat packing. For those who struck it rich, there were oysters, ice cream, and cognac. The less fortunate had to make due with beans and nettle soup. Readers with an adventurous palate can experiment with recipes for scalloped grayling and caribou scrapple. Those who prefer to leave the porcupines and bears in peace will enjoy the engaging prose and historic photographs. Gold Rush Grub will appeal to general readers, cookbook aficionados, and anyone who loves a good meal and a great story. "There's a heavy dose of gold rush history here, which sets it a cut above your normal recipe-oriented cookbook." The Midwest Book Review "[A] fascinating new culinary history of gold miners in California, Alaska and the Klondike." Northwest Palate Chandonnet ably demonstrates how the cuisine high and low of the western gold rushes fits into America's culinary mainstream. A unique look at the last great adventure.

Download or read book In Pursuit of Alaska written by Jean Morgan Meaux and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of Alaskan adventures begins with a newspaper article written by John Muir during his first visit to Alaska in 1879, when the sole U.S. government representative in all the territory's 586,412 square miles was a lone customs official in Sitka. It closes with accounts of the gold rush and the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in Seattle. Jean Meaux has gathered a superb collection of articles and stories that captivated American readers when they were first published and that will continue to entertain us today. The authors range from Charles Hallock (the founder of Forest and Stream, a precursor of Field and Stream) to New York society woman Mary Hitchcock, who traveled with china, silver, and a 2,800 square foot tent. After explorer Henry Allen wore out his boots, he marched barefoot as he continued mapping the Tanana River, and Episcopal Archdeacon Hudson Stuck mushed by dog sled in Arctic winters across a territory encompassing 250,000 miles of the northern interior. Although the United States acquired Alaska in 1867, it took more than a decade for American writers and explorers to focus attention on a territory so removed from their ordinary lives. These writers-adventurers, tourists, and gold seekers-would help define the nation's perception of Alaska and would contribute to an image of the state that persists today. This collection unearths early writings that offer a broad view of American encounters with Alaska accompanied by Meaux's lively and concise introductions. The present-day adventurer will find much to inspire exploration, while students of the American West can gain new access to this valuable trove of pre-Gold Rush Alaska archives.

Book excerpt: Alexander Pantages was 13 when he arrived in the U.S. in the 1880s, after contracting malaria in Panama. He opened his first motion picture theater in 1902 and went on to build one of the largest and most important independently-owned theater chains in the country. At the height of the Pantages Theaters' reach, he owned or operated 78 theaters across the U.S. and Canada. He amassed a fortune, yet he could not read or write English. In 1929 he was convicted of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old dancer--a scandal that destroyed his empire and reduced him to a pariah. The day his grandest theater, the Pantages Hollywood, opened in 1930, he lay sick in a jailhouse infirmary. His conviction was overturned a year later after an appeal to the California State Supreme Court, but the question remains: How should history judge this theater pioneer, wealthy magnate and embodiment of the American Dream?
