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 Frozen Justice: A Story of Alaska Along the low, sandy foreshore, on a stretch of four or five miles, stands hut after hut, built of wood, made snug with turf; and outside each hut is a platform, raised high above the ground. On this all the household goods are stored meat, blubber, skin-bladders full of oil, hides tanned and raw, clothes old and new, dog-har ness, kayaks, sledges, spears, lances, weapons and tools of all sorts - everything an Eskimo has use for is here, lashed together with stout sealskin thongs, safe from the furious winter storms, from being buried under the snow, but above all from the evil designs of the dogs.

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. I want the sweep of wide, triumphant wings; The halleluiah that the ocean sings; The wind that roars like beasts and never tires! 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!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Over the Rocky Mountains to Alaska There was no sleep during the closing night not one solitary wink; all laws were dead-letters alas that they should so soon arise again from the dead! - and when the wreath of stars that crowns the golden statue of Our Lady on the high dome, two hundred feet in air, and the wide-sweeping crescent under her shining feet, burst suddenly into flame, and shed a lustre that was welcomed for miles and miles over the plains of Indiana - then, I assure you, we were all so deeply touched that we knew not whether to laugh or to weep, and I shall not tell you which we did. The moon was very full that night, and I didn't blame it! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Up in Alaska If you have no tender feeling, And with pride you do not glow When you take out last year's headgear, With its feather, quill or bow, Knowing there's a tragic moment When the first boat deals the blow That your clothes are prehistoric, Then you are a Sourdough. If you listen to the wailing Of the Malamutes who throw In their voices all the wildness Of a wolf in deepest woe, And it soothes you into slumber Like a sweet song soft and low, You can feel that you belong here, And you are a Sourdough. If you say Mush on and Peluk Somewhat carelessly to show That you understand the trail talk And some words of Eskimo, Then remark, The air is balmy; Only thirty-five below, Everyone will surely tell you You've become a Sourdough.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alaska: Its Waters, Land and Life For as far as do the colors and fretwork of a California sunset lie beyond the powers of detailed reproduction by the artist, so do the scenic marvels of these isles and channels surpass the limit of descriptive narrative. From the time that you enter Clarence Strait until you move through Cross Sound again into the North Pacific, you are encompassed by aswiftly changing panorama of surprises. Your first sensations will be that you have strangely stepped off the ocean and are making a journey through inland waters that are not related to the sea. For the fresh scent in the cold, damp air is not the odor of brine, and this commingling with the agreeable exhalations of the forests which clothe the mountains upon your either hand, makes you feel that you are winding amongst a a mesh of rivers in some semi-frigid interior.
