Book excerpt: Excerpt from Among the Alaskans Hirty years ago what would have been the mental picture of Alaska that a pupil interested in the study of geography could have been able to fashion for himself from the information within his reach? A meagre paragraph in print and a narrow space on the atlas represented nearly all his sources of information.

Rob, the Older of the three, and the one to whom they were all in the habit Of looking up in their wilderness journeyings, smiled at them both. He was not apt to talk very much in any case, and he seemed now content in these new surroundings to sit and Ob serve what lay about him. It was a straggling little settlement which they saw, with. One long, broken street running through the center. There was a church spire; 'to' be'suz're, and a square little wooden building in which some business men had started a bank for the sake Of the coming settlers now beginning to pass through for the country along the Peace River. There were one or two stores, as the average new comer would have called them, though each really was the post of one of the fur-trading companies then occupying that country. Most prominent of these, naturally, was the building of the ancient Hudson's Bay Company. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kin-Da-Shon's Wife: An Alaskan Story To those who know Alaska only as it 3, and to those who know it not at all, some explanations may be necessary; such explanations will be no less appreciated by our best-knowing and best-loving friends. The writing of this simple story. Begun nine years ago, is not the result of an ambition on the part of the writer to be known as a novelist - let me tell you a little of how and why it was written. Two hundred and fifty miles lay between the furthermost Protestant mission of Alaska and the country of the Chilkats be yond, when we went early in 188! To take to them the good news and to make our home among them. A white trader with a native wife had preceded us by several months; with this single exception we were the only whites in the country. The Chilkats were the master tribe among the Kling-gets, hold ing themselves aloof from their poor relations and priding themselves on their rank and their adherence to old customs. They were regarded with awe and fear by the other tribes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Last Letters from Attu written by Mary Breu and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2009-11-05 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etta Jones was not a World War II soldier or a war time spy. She was a school teacher whose life changed forever on that Sunday morning in June 1942 when the Japanese military invaded Attu Island and Etta became a prisoner of war. Etta and her sister moved to the Territory of Alaska in 1922. She planned to stay only one year as a vacation, but this 40 something year old nurse from back east met Foster Jones and fell in love. They married and for nearly twenty years they lived, worked and taught in remote Athabascan, Alutiiq, Yup’ik and Aleut villages where they were the only outsiders. Their last assignment was Attu. After the invasion, Etta became a prisoner of war and spent 39 months in Japanese POW sites located in Yokohama and Totsuka. She was the first female Caucasian taken prisoner by a foreign enemy on the North American Continent since the War of 1812, and she was the first American female released by the Japanese at the end of World War II. Using descriptive letters that she penned herself, her unpublished manuscript, historical documents and personal interviews with key people who were involved with events as they happened, her extraordinary story is told for the first time in this book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alaska: The Great Country Soul-sick am I, O God, of little things Small pleasures, aspirations, creeds, desires; Low valleys, slender brooks and hearthside fires.

Great God, my soul aches to the mighty lgres Of Nature To men heritaged as kings Who dare, aspire, achieve, not counting cost, So that a deed be done that reaches far A new land won; a perilous water crossed; So that a man coming to his last rest Shall wear upon his brow the splendid star That leads the glorious empire - builders West!

Download or read book Alaska Nuggets Classic Reprint written by Frank Bernard Camp and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alaska Nuggets Throughout the ages which have elapsed since the first man was banished from the Garden of Eden, the wanderlust has lured both men and women to the far corners of the earth in quest of something new and strange. The lure of the glittering metal called gold and the desire for unbridled freedom have caused man and also woman to leave behind the comforts of civilization to journey over the "unblazed trails" which lead through the "open places" of the big "out-doors." These men and women are known as Pioneers and it is to them and the children of them that the credit should go for the blazing of trails into unknown lands. The Pioneers of Alaska, those men and women who prospected the remote places of the Territory, where they established camps that have since become thriving towns and cities, deserve the lion's share of the credit for the development of Alaska. These hardy, sincere men and women have builded a lasting foundation on which those who follow in their footsteps can erect permanent homes, and in the years to come the "Chechaco" who journeys to Alaska, will find all of those things that are to be found at the present time in the highly civilized communities throughout the world. Alaska, now an infant in swaddling clothes will soon learn to walk. Her footsteps will be guided by the sons and daughters of the men and women who blazed the trails to the far camps, and as she grows she will take her rightful place among the other states of the union, and her people will have a voice in the councils of the Nation. The verses in this little volume are not literary gems such as the famous poets have written; they are simply a collection of typical Alaskan life and have been written with the sincere desire to portray Alaska and the people of Alaska as they really are. I am confident that those people who know Alaska will see the real in all the lines. I am also certain that those people who have yet to know the real Alaska will be greatly assisted in the lesson they must learn before they can know it, by reading these humble lines.
