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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rainbow's End: Alaska And it was the second day: They Sped across the prairies, the level threshing floors Of the world's gran ary, swept clean of wheat now, with pools of water showing that Dame Nature had barely finished her Spring house-cleaning. Flowers peered out every where as they passed; the year was too young for hard work. The third day they passed through Bismarck, North Dakota, a town which has always had enough cranks to turn every freak machine extant. They crossed the muddy Missouri at the little town Of Mandan, named from the curious blue-eyed Indians who once lived about it, a powerful tribe. At Medora they caught Sight of the Marquis de Mores' castle, high perched upon a crag, and of the great packing houses builded with his American wife's rocks. The little town was named after her. At the mansion extravagant hospitality was once dispensed. House parties feasted, danced, hunted, marveling at the surrounding wilder ness and the luxury that had invaded it. But the mar quis has ended his adventurous life in far away Africa, the great buildings are abandoned, like the foolish scheme that demanded them, and serve only to bring to mind a man whose fine riding and personal bravery were his most conspicuous virtues.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Voyages on the Yukon, and Its Tributaries: A Narrative of Summer Travel in the Interior of Alaska A preface is useful, if it be useful at all, in convey ing to the reader some fuller notion of the nature of the book he holds in his hand than the brevity of the title page permits, so that he may have guidance as to whether it be worth his reading or not. This book, then, while quite complete in itself, is written as supplement and complement to Ten Thou sand Miles with a dog-sled, and forms therewith a survey of the interior of Alaska under the totally differ ent aspects of winter and summer. In winter one travels with the dog team almost wherever one wishes; summer travel is confined to the waterways with which interior Alaska is so liberally supplied; so that a book on river voyages may really deal with the whole country so far as the summer is concerned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ten'a Texts and Tales, Vol. 6: From Anvik, Alaska The people have no history, in the proper sense of the term. The identity of the father is sunk in that of the child, and no account is to be heard among them of deeds of valor performed by their ancestors. NO names of famous men appear to have been handed down among them. The small-pox epidemic of 1839, and the appear ance of the first steamboat on the Yukon, in 1869, furnish dates by which the ages of the older generation may be ascertained. From this it appears that the oldest indi vidual at Anvik, and probably in any of the villages within a radius Of' fifty miles from Anvik, is seventy-one years Old. This is a woman. Fortunately, her memory is clear, and her mentality above the average. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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 and the Klondike: A Journey to the New Eldorado, With Hints to the Traveller In the following pages and illustrations the author has attempted to portray in its true aspects the region that, in an almost incredibly short period of time, has loomed up to a prominence in the worlds eye which finds few parallels in the history of a century. Much has been written about the Klondike - some of it good, and a great deal more, less good - but, unfortunately, the literature which the remarkable movement of 1898 has created is so overburdened with exaggeration and distortion that it is difficult to obtain from it a proper perspective.

Download or read book Wilderness written by Rockwell Kent and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wilderness: A Journal of Quiet Adventure in Alaska The other two human characters in this adventuring quest after great and simple things are acquisitions to be thankful for, also; the touchingly tender-hearted, knight-like, beautiful, funny little boy; and lovable, dignified old Olson a fiction writer wonders in despair why old Olson so vividly, brilliantly lives in these unstudied pages, solid, breathing, warm, as miraculously different from all other human beings as any creature of esh and blood who draws the mysterious breath of life beside you in the same room. Fox Island lives too; we walk about it, treading solidly, loving every log and rotten stump, gnarled tree, every mound and path, the rocks and brooks, each a being in itself, just as little Rockwell does; and we climb with the two younger ones up the sheer, snow covered ridge till across the great jagged teeth of fenris-the-wolf, we see the glory of the open sea. We look up at Olson, swaying gigantic on the deck above us, as we bump the side in our little boat and we go down into the warm cabin full of the fumes of cooking and good-fellowship, and drink with the old skipper and the old Swede till we too see deep under the white hard surface of where life is hidden. All this firm earth gives authority and penetration to the shining beauty which pervades the book and the drawings, carries us along to share it, not merely to look at it; to feel it, not merely to admire it.
