Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from To Alaska for Gold: Or the Fortune Hunters of the Yukon The rush to the far-away territory of Alaska, when gold in large quantities was discovered upon Klondike Creek, was somewhat similar to the rush to California in years gone by. The gold fever spread to even the remotest of our hamlets, and men, young and old, poured forth, ready to endure every hardship if only the much-coveted prize might be secured. That many succeeded and that many more failed is now a matter of history, although of recent date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Experiences of Gold Hunters in Alaska written by Charles Anson Margeson and published by [Hornellsville, N.Y.] : The author. This book was released on 1899 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiences of Gold Hunters in Alaska is a classic account of the Valdez-Copper River phase of the great Klondike Gold Rush of 1898 and a topnotch narrative of a real-life Alaskan adventure. Unlike most written histories of that gold rush that tell of the passage to Dyea or Skagway, over the Chilkoot Pass and White Pass, and down to the Klondike fields in Yukon, Charles Margeson tells the story that he and 3500 other gold seekers experienced as they traversed the Valdez Glacier and descended the Klutina River to the Copper River. The author describes his journey beginning in Missouri in 1897 and resulted in a trip from Seattle to Alaska and back to Seattle in 1898. The book covers the early story of Valdez and the hazards encountered in the Tonsena (now Tonsina) Valley. Although they discovered little gold, their quest made a difference for their efforts resulted in the exploration and development of much of Southcentral and Interior Alaska. They established the port city of Valdez which was to become the major transportation and shipping corridor from interior to coastal Alaska--a corridor now more famous for its black than yellow gold.

Excerpt: ...back to in after years as one of the bright spots among so many dark and gloomy hours which made up the greater part of the time in these men's heroic struggle after gold. Much has been said since the war with Spain began about heroic sacrifice, and braving danger, all of which is doubtless true; but after the months passed on this Alaskan campaign, and seeing what I have seen, I can not think that our army and navy have given to the world any higher types of heroes--though they have been by their association rendered more conspicuous--than were developed in the wilds of Alaskan forests, or over Alaskan ice mountains. A restaurant was opened on the island, and for two months, while so many were on their way back to the States, did a thriving business. It was a great resort for the boys, for the keeper had a phonograph with a large selection of records, both vocal and instrumental. One day Stickwon.--the chief of the Stick Indians, --with his entire family, consisting of himself and wife and three children (a son twenty-one years old, a daughter of eighteen, and a little boy of five), was on a hunting expedition to the head waters of the Klutina River, and had stopped off a few days at the island to visit the white people. They had killed four caribou on their way up from Copper River, and so were well supplied with fresh meat, a part of which they tfaded with the miners for " muck-muck," which is their name for all kinds of provisions. One afternoon Stickwon and his family called at this restaurant, and being of an inquisitive nature, as all these Indians are, and looking about the place to see what was to be seen, came across the phonograph, and began to examine it curiously. The proprietor of the place, noticing this, ...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nome Nuggets: Some of the Experiences of a Party of Gold Seekers in Northwestern Alaska in 1900 This caused a great deal of excitement among the employes of the stores at St. Michael. In five days many had secured dog teams and provisions, and were on their way over the ice to the new land of gold. In three weeks the place was nearly deserted, the same being the case with other small camps nearby. The news spread to the villages along the Yukon. Soon scores of dog teams, laden with provisions, passed through St. Michael, en route for this icy Eldorado.

Download or read book Klondyke Facts written by Joseph Ladue and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Klondyke Facts: A Complete Guide Book to the Great Gold Regions of the Northwest Territories and Alaska The intense excitement caused by the marvellous discoveries of gold in Alaska and the great Canadian Northwest makes it necessary that authentic facts regarding this region should be supplied to the reading public. It is with pleasure that we introduce Mr. Joseph Ladue, the pioneer prospector and founder of Dawson City, N. W. T., the central point of the gold region, as the author of this valuable work of reliable information. There is probably no man living who is better posted on Alaska and the great Northwest than Mr. Joseph Ladue. He has just returned from that country to his old home in Schuyler Falls, N. Y., where he passed a large portion of his boyhood and early manhood. Mr. Ladue left his home nearly twenty years ago to seek his fortune in the West, going first to the Black Hills, where he was successful in gold mining, thence to Arizona and the Pacific Coast, and finally located in Alaska and the Northwest Territories, where he has been since 1883. Mr. Ladue is a typical pioneer, strong, hardy and resolute, a man of iron, as one must needs be to go through the hardships he has and come out with a constitution unbroken and unimpaired at the age of about forty-three. Mr. Ladue has not only worked his muscles to good advantage to himself with the result of an abundance of this worlds goods, but he has evidently all this time been closely observing the conditions of that strange country, the Yukon Valley, which has so suddenly become one of the great centres upon which human interest throughout the world is focussed.
