Download or read book Wilderness written by Rockwell Kent and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wilderness: A Journal of Quiet Adventure in Alaska The other two human characters in this adventuring quest after great and simple things are acquisitions to be thankful for, also; the touchingly tender-hearted, knight-like, beautiful, funny little boy; and lovable, dignified old Olson a fiction writer wonders in despair why old Olson so vividly, brilliantly lives in these unstudied pages, solid, breathing, warm, as miraculously different from all other human beings as any creature of esh and blood who draws the mysterious breath of life beside you in the same room. Fox Island lives too; we walk about it, treading solidly, loving every log and rotten stump, gnarled tree, every mound and path, the rocks and brooks, each a being in itself, just as little Rockwell does; and we climb with the two younger ones up the sheer, snow covered ridge till across the great jagged teeth of fenris-the-wolf, we see the glory of the open sea. We look up at Olson, swaying gigantic on the deck above us, as we bump the side in our little boat and we go down into the warm cabin full of the fumes of cooking and good-fellowship, and drink with the old skipper and the old Swede till we too see deep under the white hard surface of where life is hidden. All this firm earth gives authority and penetration to the shining beauty which pervades the book and the drawings, carries us along to share it, not merely to look at it; to feel it, not merely to admire it.

Life just then seemed a very serious and perplexing affair to Phil Ryder, and, to quote an expression that he himself had Often used in regard to others, he looked as though he had lost his last friend. If any one in all that strange foreign city had been intimate enough with him to sug gest this to Phil, he would have replied, And so I have, for I have lost my last dollar, and in a strange country I don't know of any better friend than the good old Yankee dollar.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Adventure in Alaska, During the Gold Excitement of 1897-1898: A Personal Experience As my trip to Alaska was the first of these occurrences, naturally it should be first relate-d, leaving the other two to follow when time and circumstances permit. Recently I found a manuscript and some extensive notes of this Alaska trip, made immediately upon my return and finished later while I was stationed at Fort Flagler in 1904. These I have gone over and put together in this little book. It is written in a conversational way, rather in the American language than the English, I should say, and of course, makes no pretence to any literary merit. Whatever it is, it is a true and intimate relation, and I take great pleasure in presenting it to you, for your amusement and entertainment, and for the entertainment of such of our friends as may be interested.

Download or read book Shores and Alps of Alaska Classic Reprint written by H. W. Seton Karr and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shores and Alps of Alaska The clearest and simplest manner of describing a journey of exploration, of sport, or of adventure, is often in the form of the original diary - penned in situ from day to day in the tent, the forest, or the canoe, on the shore, the glacier, or the mountain side. Such a book does this profess to be, having the merits, if it has the defects, of an instantaneous word-photograph, rather than of a carefully elaborated work of art. When, as the New York Times Expedition to Alaska, and as the first explorers who had ever landed on that stern coast, we made our attempt upon Mount St. Elias, our combined alpinism was insignificant. Our experience had been gleaned from divers places. Lieutenant Schwatka had travelled in the Arctic, Professor Libbey in Colorado, and the writer had mountaineered in the Alps. An expedition comprising Swiss guides, or consisting of experienced climbers, would be more successful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The White Blanket, the Story of an Alaskan Winter During these wanderings I heard many a true tale of hardship and grim adventure, and these with my own experiences soon formed a large part of the material in my note books. As the stories formed a vital part of the history of the passing of our last frontier, it seemed a shame that they should be forgotten, but I was unable'to solve the problem of publishing the disconnected strands until Mr. J. Bishop Putnam suggested that they be woven into a series of books for boys. With his kindly advice and aid the experiment was made, and the cordial reception that greeted The Quest of the Golden Valley has encouraged me to write this story of an Alaskan winter.

Download or read book To the Top of the Continent written by Frederick A. Cook and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from To the Top of the Continent: Discovery, Exploration and Adventure, in Sub-Arctic Alaska, the First Ascent, of Mt; McKinley, 1903-1906 In the development of the project for the conquest of the mountain which this volume narrates, a series of barriers arose which seemed almost unsurmountable. A great mountain was rediscovered in an unexplored district and christened in honour of our late President, William McKinley. Preliminary investigation proved this mountain to be the highest peak in North America. Hidden in the heart of Alaska, far from the sea, far from all lines of travel, this newly crowned alpine rival pierced the frosty blue of the Arctic within reach of the midnight sun. The recognition of the pre-eminence of this peak, together with its fitting designation, framed a national mountaineering challenge which we took up fully realising the strenuous task which it entailed. The mere effort of getting to the base of the mountain with sufficient supplies to prolong the siege required the exploration of thousands of miles of trackless wilderness. Unlike most other big mountains this giant uplift rises suddenly out of a low country and the climb begins over ice torn by crevasses and weighted down by sharp stones.
