Book excerpt: Seeking fortune & adventure, two young German Canadians, Art and Ernie Barz, were down to their last dollars when they reached Dawson City in 1937. A year later, aided by some of Yukon's leading citizens, the Barz brothers chartered four plane-loads of huskies, equipment, and supplies to the Territory's remote Bonnet Plume region. Seeking to avoid the expensive non-resident trapper's licence fees, the brothers convinced the authorities that they were miners. Instead, they set up one of the largest clandestine fur-trapping operation in the Canadian north. In time, they became legal trappers and ran Chappie's Trading Post near the confluence of the Bonnet Plume and Peel Rivers. During their five years in Yukon, they met some of the Territory's larger-than-life characters, and explored its vast, pristine wilderness. Yukon Wanderlust weaves the Barz brothers' stories, their photographs, and related historical events into a fascinating chronicle of a vibrant, yet overlooked period of Yukon history.

Download or read book Yukon written by Polly Evans and published by Bradt Travel Guides. This book was released on 2010 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada's Yukon is one the world's last great wildernesses, where bears, moose and caribou roam. It's a place where hikers, paddlers, skiers and mushers can travel for days without seeing another human soul, where the northern lights dance green and red across starry skies, and where glaciers tumble, mountain peaks soar, and tundra shrubs scream scarlet as summer turns to fall. Bradt's Yukon is the only guidebook dedicated to this natural and historical wonderland. Offering practical advice on everything from where to pan for gold to how to avoid being eaten by a bear, alongside quirky anecdotes (such as the story behind the 'sourtoe cocktail' - a shot of whisky garnished with a severed human toe), it's the perfect companion for highway drivers, cruise-ship passengers, and outdoors enthusiasts alike.

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: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER X. On the Frozen Klondyke--Pitching 'Our Tent on the El Dorado Creek--Building a House--Putting Ourselves on Bations--Our First Beefsteak for Months --Starting Our First Shaft Down to Bed-Bock-- Beaching Pay Dirt!--Fifty Dollars to the Pan-- Working With a Will Through the Dark Winter Days. Finally the Klondyke froze over and we struck camp and loading our sleds started up the river. The surface of the ice in these rivers is very rough, as when the freeze begins there is strong objection made by the current to being frozen in. The ice breaks loose and drifts down until it lodges against a bank, bar, or other ice, when the freeze continues. It freezes out from the banks and obstructions and. finally spans the whole river. This ice is dislodged and is then called "slush ice," and in breaking up at the jams forms a very rough surface. We managed, however, to wend our way up the Klondyke, then along Bonanza Creek until we reached Eldorado Creek. At this time, gold had not been found in any quantity on the Eldorado. Here we pitched our tent and commenced work on a house for winter quarters. The season was late and we must hurry it as much as possible. We got logs and placed them, one upon another, putting a thick layer of BUILDING US A CABIN 91 moss between, and covered the roof with moss and dirt to the depth of a foot. Fortunately, we had been able to procure a sash and a pair of hinges at Dawson City, so we had a window and a swinging door as luxuries. We called this cabin "Moss House" and it was here that we remained during the long, cold, dark winter. Of course we made some furniture, which was more useful than elegant. We had now secured a roof over our heads (so to speak), and as our larder was reasonably well stocked we felt...
Download or read book Travels Among the Dena written by Frederica de Laguna and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This robust and engaging travel narrative re-creates a remarkable adventure in the summer of 1935, when Frederica de Laguna, then in her late 20s, led a party of three other scientists down the rivers of the middle and lower Yukon valley, making a geological and archaeological reconnaissance. De Laguna has based her story on her field notes, journals, and letters home. She augments this first-hand account with excerpts from the reports of earlier explorers and data published after her trip. The result is a fascinating and informative cross-cut of historical events along the Yukon River and its tributaries. Travels Among the Dena chronicles the expedition from its outfitting in Seattle and the trip by steamer and railway to Fairbanks and Nenana, through an 80-day journey on skiffs down the Tanana and Yukon rivers to Holy Cross near the coast, with side trips on the Koyukuk, Khotol, and Innoko rivers, before a one-day return flight to Fairbanks with pioneer bush pilot Noel Wien. Maps illustrate the route taken downriver, and the author’s photographs capture images of the time. The resulting volume is both a delightful addition to the literature of travel adventure in Alaska and an important contribution to the discipline of anthropology.

Download or read book Quadrangle written by Shea Rose and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not a “Spookybrook” but certainly a “Mysteryville.” Not something that can be proven, but not something that can be dis-proven either. The people in, out, and about the trendy upper-echelon QuietStone Townhomes development were experiencing weird, unexplainable stuff. There were deaths, curiosities, inconsistencies, uncertainties...all that. Although not spooky...everything was very mysterious. Maybe that’s because there’re things that exist that are invisible. Because we can’t see them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Akin to that all-time query/quandary...if a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound? If not there to hear, who knows? A QuietStone resident fell prey to a harbored unsavory past; a seasoned Detective prowling around QuietStone, fell victim to his sordid past. Others at QuietStone, just fell victim to QuietStone, unbeknownst as to why, but compelled to move out. Perhaps that’s how energy works. You can’t see it, but it exists, nonetheless. Good, bad. No. Energy only has a frequency... resonating high or low. Doesn’t get an ascribed favorability. It’s not good or bad, it’s just simply high or low vibrating energy. That good versus bad stuff is only something humans assign to it. Perhaps low vibrational energy is intended to get our attention...so we can rise. Anyway, you’re the reader. You decide. What resonates for you in this mysterious journey through the sedate and trendy QuietStone Townhomes development? Whether inquiring about the workings of energy or just looking for a mystery, both are up for sale. Happy townhouse hunting!
