Andrews Cheechakoes in Wonderland is the story of a young couple from the suburbs of New Jersey consigned by Uncle Sam to two years on the remote planet of Southeast Alaska, who returned by choice to live, work, recreate in the out-of-doors, and raise a family. It’s a story of what life was like a generation or two or three ago on America’s Last Frontier, a unique place still very much outside the realm of most peoples’ experience. The author’s goal is to interest, educate, entertain, and perhaps inspire others to take the plunge and live their dream.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cheechakoes is a novel based on fact. The gold rush of 1897-98 was one of the great episodes in American history. When the Tlingit Indian first saw these men and women packing their gear up the Chilkoot Trail, they called them "Cheechakoes" (chee-cha-koes) which means "Greenhorn." Thirty thousand men and women from the United States and other countries headed north from Dyea on the Alaskan coast. These poor souls traveled by foot, carrying their required 1150 pounds of food plus their equipment, thirty-three miles over rugged country, fighting deep snow and frigid temperatures to Lake Bennett. Then they had to build a boat and travel 500 miles down the Yukon River to Dawson City. The lust for gold made these men struggle against insurmountable odds, for a chance to make their fortunes. New of the Yukon gold drew men from their $1.00 a day jobs in California to Alaska hoping to strike it rich. Sit back, put your feet up and enjoy this story about the 1897-98 Yukon gold rush. The author has provided 52 illustrations to help you enjoy this adventurous story.

Download or read book The Klondike Chest written by Alan Grainger and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billy Orange, pugnacious little Irishman, five foot nothing and scared of nobody, rescues a man from a beating in a back alley in Seatle, and finds himself caught up in the Great Gold Rush to the Klondike. Arctic midwinter conditions, unscrupulous tricksters, romance, and death, test him, but nothing can stop him. From the Author My wife and I spent 10 weeks in the area in the Klondike fulfillment of my lifetime's ambition to go there. We panned on Bonanza, got eaten by mosquitoes, but found no gold; we gambled at Diamond Tooth Gertie's and lost our money; we sat out on the veranda of our B&B and drank whisky until near midnight and got sunburned, and we followed Granddad's tracks where we could - up the White Pass and along part of Lake Bennett. We walked stretches of the banks of the Yukon but never got to St. Michael. We sailed through the icebergs on Prince William Sound, out of Valdez, and spent days ferry boating up and down the Inside Passage, followed Humpback whales and caught salmon. Most of all though we sat and drank in the atmosphere, which is still well capable of kick starting a lively imagination like mine. It was a wonderful trip, and gave more meaning to Granddad's tales and to those of others who have chronicled the period and it sharpened my appetite to know even more. I've read and re-read Pierre's Berton's substantive book Klondike, a definitive volume full of incredible detail and marvelously readable. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone hungry for more on "The Last Great Gold Rush", as he puts it. I also enjoyed a much less well known book, A Hard Road to Klondike, by Michael MacGowan, and Garnet Basque's Gold Panners Manual, as well as watching every TV programme and video recording that I have come across. Some data from each of them has been grafted into Granddad's story to flesh it out and to provide continuity. For this I am more grateful than I can say, and I thank the writers and publishers of these books for permitting me to pick their brains. Alan Grainger Dublin 2004 Excerpts

Download or read book Fighting for the Forty Ninth Star written by Terrence Cole and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Alaskans in the 1950s demanded an end to "second-class citizenship" of territorial status, southern powerbrokers on Capitol Hill were the primary obstacles. They feared a forty-ninth state would tip the balance of power against segregation, and therefore keeping Alaska out of the Union was simply another means of keeping black children out of white schools. C.W. "Bill" Snedden, the publisher of America's farthest north daily newspaper, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, helped lead the battle of the Far North against the Deep South. Working behind the scenes with his protege, a young attorney named Ted Stevens, and a fellow Republican newspaperman, Secretary of Interior Fred Seaton, Snedden's "magnificent obsession" would open the door to development of the oil fields at Prudhoe Bay, inspire establishment of the Arctic Wildlife Range (now the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge), and add the forty-ninth star to the flag. Fighting for the Forty-Ninth Star is the story of how the publisher of a little newspaper four thousand miles from Washington, D.C., helped convince Congress that Alaskans should be second-class citizens no more.

Download or read book The Abalone Ukulele written by Roger Crossland and published by New Acdemia+ORM. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this historical adventure, cultures from China, Korea, Japan, and the United States collide in 1913 over three tons of Japanese gold ingots. Three ordinary men—a disgraced Korean tribute courier, a bookish naval officer, and a polyglot third-class quartermaster—must foil Japanese subversion and, with sub rosa assistance from Asiatic Station, highjack that gold to finance a Korean insurrection. Three ordinary women complicate, and complement, their efforts: an enigmatic changsan courtesan, a feisty Down East consular clerk, and a clever Chinese farm-girl. It is a tale that wends through the outskirts of Peking to the Yukon River; from the San Francisco waterfront to a naval landing party isolated on a Woosung battlefield; from ships of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet moored on Battleship Row to a junk on the Yangtze; and from the Korean gold mines of Unsan to a coaling quay in Shanghai. Soon a foreign intelligence service, a revolutionary army, and two Chinese triads converge on a nation’s ransom in gold . . . Praise for The Abalone Ukulele “A masterclass in historical fiction. With painstaking research and a gift for story spinning, Crossland brings to brilliant life a sprawling epic of greed, gold, and redemption. Crossland’s gift for converting historic details into character and narrative makes The Abalone Ukulele an immersive read.” —Joseph A. Williams, author of Seventeen Fathoms Deep and The Sunken Treasure “Crossland’s tale of shenanigans, greed, nobility, [and] slivers of grace propels across a geography spanning Shanghai, the Klondike gold fields, and San Francisco’s wharves. His characters are elemental, with a commedia dell'arte quality . . . . Clues to a mystery are sprinkled skillfully throughout, keeping the reader turning the page.” —Loretta Goldberg, author of the award-winning novel, The Reversible Mask “Maritime historical fiction in the tradition of Patrick O'Brian.” —Steve Robinson, author of No Guts, No Glory
