Download or read book Alaska to Africa written by Adrienne Foster Potter and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-26 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the true, never-before-told story of the exploits of the brilliant scientist and WWII survivor who invented the lithium battery and kept the United States safe for 40 years. He was an Air Force scientist who brought 16 children into the world and took them with him from Alaska to Africa and many places in between. Because his work was top secret the world has never known of his research or his creations, which are now declassified. After his Flying Fortress was shot down in WWII, Arthur Glenn Foster escaped from Germany and rose from Air Force Lieutenant to Director of Hardness (Upgrade & Maintenance) for all U.S. missile installations. The book reveals how his large brood of children, gifted in different ways than their father, coped with his genius and with the world around them as they were transferred from one air base to another. This is a story of the human spirit: of adventure, courage, ingenuity, inspiration, and persistence that cannot be ignored.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before Alaska became a mining bonanza, it was a scenic bonanza, a place larger in the American imagination than in its actual borders. Prior to the great Klondike Gold Rush of 1897, thousands of scenic adventurers journeyed along the Inside Passage, the nearly thousand-mile sea-lane that snakes up the Pacific coast from Puget Sound to Icy Strait. Both the famous—including wilderness advocate John Muir, landscape painter Albert Bierstadt, and photographers Eadweard Muybridge and Edward Curtis—and the long forgotten—a gay ex-sailor, a former society reporter, an African explorer, and a neurasthenic Methodist minister—returned with fascinating accounts of their Alaskan journeys, becoming advance men and women for an expanding United States. In Darkest Alaska explores the popular images conjured by these travelers' tales, as well as their influence on the broader society. Drawing on lively firsthand accounts, archival photographs, maps, and other ephemera of the day, historian Robert Campbell chronicles how Gilded Age sightseers were inspired by Alaska's bounty of evolutionary treasures, tribal artifacts, geological riches, and novel thrills to produce a wealth of highly imaginative reportage about the territory. By portraying the territory as a "Last West" ripe for American conquest, tourists helped pave the way for settlement and exploitation.
