Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Shetland to British Columbia, Alaska, and the United States: Being a Journal of Travels, With Narrative of Return Journey After, Three Years' Exploration Some years ago, I had an opportunity of travelling round the world, leaving London in a sailing ship going out by the Cape of Good Hope, and after' visiting Australia I returned to England by Cape Horn. After that, I delivered lectures in Edinburgh and other large towns in Scotland about what I had seen and heard while on the voyage, and reports of the lecture appearing in various newspapers being much in my favour, I ventured to publish the whole of my notes in book form. That venture having become a success, it has encouraged me to publish my travels from Shetland to British Columbia, Alaska, and the United States of America. I spent three years in accomplishing the journey, a portion of my time having been occupied in visiting relatives and other friends.

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.

Download or read book In Darkest Alaska written by Robert Campbell and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2011-06-03 with total page 357 pages. 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.
Download or read book To the Top of the Continent written by Frederick A. Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from To the Top of the Continent: Discovery, Exploration and Adventure, in Sub-Arctic Alaska, the First Ascent, of Mt; McKinley, 1903-1906 The exploration of the Alaska Range was not seriously attempted until the Klondyke stampede of 1897 indicated the mineral prospects of the adjoining territory. Gold had earlier been found in the Cook Inlet district but the interior from the Inlet to the Yukon was a terra incognita. With the surprising speed of the new gold rush various government reconnoissance expeditions were directed into this area of mystery. At about the same time the gold diggers pressed up the Susitna and among them was W. A. Dickey, who in 1898 sighted a big peak, christened it Mount Mc Kinley, and guessed at its altitude with surpris ing correctness as feet. A sketch of the mountain with notes was sent to the New York Sun and the data thus falling into the hands of the noted geographer Cyrus C. Adams were placed on record.
