Alaska and the Klondike (Classic Reprint) by John Scudder McLain Pdf

Excerpt from Alaska and the Klondike When the special subcommittee of the Senate Com mittee on Territories visited Alaska in the summer of 1903 for the purpose of gathering information which would enable them to legislate wisely and helpfully with regard to that great district, I was fortunate enough to obtain permission to accompany the senatorial party in an unofficial capacity. The trip occupied, approximately, ten weeks, and carried us not only through the interior, along the whole course of the Yukon River, but to many places on the coast and among the islands not readily accessible by the regular means of travel. As will be readily under stood, enjoyed peculiarly favourable opportunities to study the resources and the possibilities of the country, and the following pages on Alaska, in their original form, were written for my paper after my return home, and published in it exclusively. There appears to be a demand for reliable and up-to-date information about that coun try - that, and the urgent request of men who have read what I have written, and who know Alaska, that it be given permanent and convenient form, are the excuses for this volume. For this purpose the original story of Alaska has been carefully revised and the statistical information brought down to include the commercial and industrial operations of the year 1904.

The Klondike Clan by S. Hall Young Pdf

Excerpt from The Klondike Clan: A Tale of the Great Stampede Chilkoot Pass And you, too, banged at the Chilkoot, That rock-locked gate to the golden door! These thunder-built steeps have words built to suit, And whether you prayed or whether you swore 'Twere one where it seemed that an oath was a prayer Seemed God couldn't care, Seemed God wasn't there! And you, too, climbed to the Klondike And talked, as a friend, to those five-horned stars! With muckluck shoon and with talspike You, too, bared head to the bars, The heaven-built bars where morning is born. And drank with maiden morn From Klondike's golden horn! And you, too, read by the North lights Such sermons as never men say! You sat and sat with the midnights That sit and that sit all day: You heard the silence, you heard the room. Heard the glory of God in the gloom Where the icebergs boom and boom! Then come to my Sunland, my soldier. Aye, come to my heart and to stay; For better crusader or bolder Bared never a breast to the fray. And whether you prayed or whether you cursed You dared the best and you dared the worst That ever brave man durst. Joaquin Miller.

Alaska and the Klondike by Angelo Heilprin Pdf

Excerpt from Alaska and the Klondike: A Journey to the New Eldorado, With Hints to the Traveller Much has been written about the Klon dike - 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.

A Trip to Alaska and the Klondike by N. E. Keeler Pdf

Excerpt from A Trip to Alaska and the Klondike: In the Summer of 1905 This little volume was not intended in the beginning. A wish expressed by some friends to hear an account of my pleasures and experiences in Alaska and the Klondike suggested a typewritten letter, which could be passed around. But the subject grew, and my interest increased, as I retraced my steps, and the story got, unintentionally, beyond the limits of the intended letter. This will, doubtless, please my enemies and delight the critic, who is fond of applying the wet blanket. I hope my reader may some day enjoy the same trip, and have for ship friends and companions as interesting, congenial and entertaining characters as it was my privilege to encounter.

The Klondike by James William Steele Pdf

Excerpt from The Klondike: The New Gold Fields of Alaska and the Far North-West For most of them were rich, and had grown rich quickly. In every man's pocket there was a bag of virgin gold. In all this queer make-shift baggage there was more of it. It had been gathered in a wilderness where none but savages, and few of them, had ever lived, and where there will never be a farm, a factory, a college. How much wealth they carried ashore that day will never be precisely known, and already they are scattered and have been individually forgotten.

Adventures in Alaska (Classic Reprint) by Samuel Hall Young Pdf

Excerpt from Adventures in Alaska As in his earlier work, The Klondike Clan, the author endeavored to draw a true picture not only of the life and conditions of the first Northwestern gold-rush, but also of the minister's aims and field of duty; so in this short sketch of the second Stampede his aim has been, above all things, truth. 'every incident is actual history, and even the names are real. The dog story is also con scientiously true history, and belongs to one of the minor gold stampedes.

Klondike by Charles A. Bramble Pdf

Excerpt from Klondike: A Manual for Goldseekers The first discovery Of gold on the Klondike was made in the middle Of August, 1896, by George Cormack. The only way heretofore into and out of the Klondike in winter has been by way of Juneau. The best way to live is to imitate the Indians in dress and habit. It is useless to wear leather or gum boots. Good moccasins are absolutely necessary. The colder it is the better the traveling. When it is very cold there is no wind; and the wind is hard to bear. Indian guides are necessary to go ahead of the dogs and prepare the camp for night. In the summer the sun rises early and sets late and there are only a few hours when it is not shining directly on Alaska. In the winter the sun shines for a short time only each day.
