Download or read book Myths and Legends of Alaska Classic Reprint written by Katharine Berry Judson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths and Legends of Alaska So there must needs be those who have power over the evil Spirits, those who by incantations and charms of magic, by ceremonial dancing in symbolic dress, can control the designs of those who work ever against these children of the North. Thus there arose the shamans with all their ceremonies. The myths in this volume are authentic. The orig inal collections were made by government ethnologists, by whose permission this compilation is made. And no effort has been made, in the telling of them, to change them from the terse directness of the natives. The language of all Indian tribes is very simple, and to the extent that an effort is made to put myths and legends into more polished form, to that extent is their authenticity impaired.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rainbow's End: Alaska So the little hand, soft and white as a crumpled rose-leaf, snuggled into the larger palm, and the tiny fingers, with implicit child trust, confided themselves to the others leading, were it to the ends of the earth. And they two left the turmoil, the un-ease, the grime of Chicago behind them, shaking the dust of that city from their happy wandering feet. The tired brown eyes and the merry blue ones looked gladly into one another. The pilgrims laughed softly to themselves when the wheels began to turn and they realized they were actually started for the end of the rainbow. Hats were placed upon the broad shelf over the door, wraps hung upon numerous brass hooks. The little body screwed herself into a corner of the "make-believe house" and gazed out upon the "slippery country," while the other looked musingly about the compartment. Time was, and not so long ago, when a contortionist was the only person who could come out whole from a night's railway travel. People having spines, and those whose joints worked but one way, suffered through the long night watches in wretchedness which distinctly lowered their moral tone.

Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "THE ALASKAN" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "Captain Rifle, Grey and old in the Alaskan Steamship service, had not lost the spirit of his youth along with his years. Romance was not dead in him, and the fire which is built up of clean adventure and the association of strong men and a mighty country had not died out of his veins. He could still see the picturesque, feel the thrill of the unusual, and--at times--warm memories crowded upon him so closely that yesterday seemed today, and Alaska was young again, thrilling the world with her wild call..." (Excerpt) James Oliver Curwood was an American action-adventure writer and conservationist. His books ranked among top-ten best sellers in the United States and at least eighteen motion pictures have been based on or directly inspired by his novels and short stories. At the time of his death, he was the highest paid (per word) author in the world. His writing studio, Curwood Castle, is now a museum in Owosso, Michigan.
Download or read book Our Voices written by James Ruppert and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storytelling is an important, vibrant tradition among the Native peoples of the Far North, especially in the Athabaskan communities of interior Alaska and the Yukon Territory. Here for the first time is an anthology of the best stories that Athabaskan speakers tell about themselves, their communities, and the cold, beautiful world of the Far North. Showcased are twenty accomplished Native storytellers, recognized as masters by their people, who come from the Deg Hit'an, Koyukon, Gwich'in, Northern and Southern Tutchone, Kaska, Tagish, Upper and Lower Tanana, Tanacross, Upper Kuskokwim, Dena'ina, Ahtna, and Eyak communities. Men and women, young and old, recount popular tales of legendary times, such as how Raven Shaped the World. They also share meaningful, sometimes intimate, stories about their own lives, their families, or the history of their people. These evocative, wonderfully crafted stories are a literary treasure trove; entertaining, enchanting, and offering an unforgettable glimpse of the Native peoples who live under the bright lights of the Far North.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Cheechako in Alaska and Yukon The war, thank God, had ended. There was no further sacrifice of splendid lives. And as I progressed through that beautiful State of California, Queen of the Pacific, with its glorious sunshine, carpets of wild-flowers, snow-clad moun tains, and golden harvests of yellow oranges, yellow gold, and, in the north, yellow grain, I began to have thoughts of Alaska. On the Pacific Coast one seems, quite near, as Seattle is the principal port for embarkation to Alaska. One meets people who have lived there, who speak of the Great Country, as the Indians used to. Call it. My mind was made up. Here, then, was an opportunity to realize that dream of my childhood and see Nome. But I am patriotic, and ardently desired to see the Yukon as well, so determined to wait until the snow and ice had melted in June. And thus it happened that in Golden California I abided until the season favoured my long-anticipated journey.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trail of a Sourdough: Life in Alaska While the word Sourdough (sour dough) is perfectly familiar to those in Alaska and along the Pacific Coast it may not be amiss to give a brief explanation to our Eastern readers. A Sourdough is a miner who has spent one winter in Alaska and "has seen the ice go out." Mrs. Sullivan is a Sourdough herself. In all she has made seven trips to Alaska extending over a period of ten years. When miners are beyond the pale of civilization, with a supply of flour but no baking powder, yeast or potatoes, they cut from each batch of bread dough a little piece, to be kept until it turns sour, and then used as leaven for the next baking. It is through this custom that the miners themselves came to be called sourdoughs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
