Finding that I should have the summer of '88 at my disposal, I had written to him at the end of March to ask about his plans and now got this telegram in reply. It was sent from Victoria, bc, and was an urgent appeal to join him and his brother at once, as they meant to make an attempt on Mount St. Elias that summer, and must start northward by the end of May. I retired to the smoking-room to consider the Situation, and finally came to the conclusion that such a hurried depar ture might be managed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Up in Alaska If you have no tender feeling, And with pride you do not glow When you take out last year's headgear, With its feather, quill or bow, Knowing there's a tragic moment When the first boat deals the blow That your clothes are prehistoric, Then you are a Sourdough. 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: **The National Bestseller** From the acclaimed, bestselling author of Turn Right at Machu Picchu, a fascinating, wild, and wonder-filled journey into Alaska, America's last frontier In 1899, railroad magnate Edward H. Harriman organized a most unusual summer voyage to the wilds of Alaska: He converted a steamship into a luxury "floating university," populated by some of America's best and brightest scientists and writers, including the anti-capitalist eco-prophet John Muir. Those aboard encountered a land of immeasurable beauty and impending environmental calamity. More than a hundred years later, Alaska is still America's most sublime wilderness, both the lure that draws one million tourists annually on Inside Passage cruises and as a natural resources larder waiting to be raided. As ever, it remains a magnet for weirdos and dreamers. Armed with Dramamine and an industrial-strength mosquito net, Mark Adams sets out to retrace the 1899 expedition. Traveling town to town by water, Adams ventures three thousand miles north through Wrangell, Juneau, and Glacier Bay, then continues west into the colder and stranger regions of the Aleutians and the Arctic Circle. Along the way, he encounters dozens of unusual characters (and a couple of very hungry bears) and investigates how lessons learned in 1899 might relate to Alaska's current struggles in adapting to the pressures of a changing climate and world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trail of a Sourdough: Life in Alaska While the word Sourdough (sour dough) is perfectly familiar to those in Alaska and along the Pacific Coast it may not be amiss to give a brief explanation to our Eastern readers. A Sourdough is a miner who has spent one winter in Alaska and "has seen the ice go out." Mrs. Sullivan is a Sourdough herself. In all she has made seven trips to Alaska extending over a period of ten years. When miners are beyond the pale of civilization, with a supply of flour but no baking powder, yeast or potatoes, they cut from each batch of bread dough a little piece, to be kept until it turns sour, and then used as leaven for the next baking. It is through this custom that the miners themselves came to be called sourdoughs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Frozen Justice: A Story of Alaska Along the low, sandy foreshore, on a stretch of four or five miles, stands hut after hut, built of wood, made snug with turf; and outside each hut is a platform, raised high above the ground. On this all the household goods are stored meat, blubber, skin-bladders full of oil, hides tanned and raw, clothes old and new, dog-har ness, kayaks, sledges, spears, lances, weapons and tools of all sorts - everything an Eskimo has use for is here, lashed together with stout sealskin thongs, safe from the furious winter storms, from being buried under the snow, but above all from the evil designs of the dogs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The White Blanket, the Story of an Alaskan Winter During these wanderings I heard many a true tale of hardship and grim adventure, and these with my own experiences soon formed a large part of the material in my note books. As the stories formed a vital part of the history of the passing of our last frontier, it seemed a shame that they should be forgotten, but I was unable'to solve the problem of publishing the disconnected strands until Mr. J. Bishop Putnam suggested that they be woven into a series of books for boys. With his kindly advice and aid the experiment was made, and the cordial reception that greeted The Quest of the Golden Valley has encouraged me to write this story of an Alaskan winter.
