Wonderland Or Alaska and the Inland Passage (Classic Reprint) by John Hyde Pdf
Excerpt from Wonderland or Alaska and the Inland Passage Multi discurrent, et augebitur stultitia" Thus did one of the profoundest of modern thinkers parody the prediction of the Hebrew prophet who foretold the time when, with increased facilities for travel and intercommunication, there should come a great enlargement of the bounds of knowledge, and a corresponding amelioration of the condition of humanity. It would, however, be strange indeed, if the complex process of social evolution, even in its present stage, were not marked by some of the indications of a retrograde movement. The age in which we live has undoubtedly its peculiar follies and foibles, which are but thrown into relief by the qualities that more generally distinguish it. But many are running to and fro, and knowledge is being increased. Nature is revealing herself to the traveler in new forms and aspects, and disclosing to his wondering gaze mysterious pages of her great book hitherto hidden from him. And while extensive tracts of country, presenting physical features to which the entire known world furnishes no parallel, have been brought by railroad enterprise within reach alike of the curious sight-seer and the inquiring student, a vast region, of almost unexampled wealth-producing capabilities, has, by the same agency, been thrown open to that advancing tide of civilization which is rapidly overspreading the world. Hence the traveler journeying to Wonderland - to that enchanted realm where the most extravagant creations of the fancy appear trivial and commonplace beside the more extraordinary works of Nature - sees also, in process of solution, some of the hitherto most perplexing problems of economics; observes, as he can not do with like facility anywhere else in the world, the well-ordered plan upon which the bounty of Nature is distributed; and witnesses the unlocking of vast storehouses of good, to supply the increasing needs of the human race. It may be doubted whether the world affords another tour at once so delightful and so instructive as that which, beginning at the head of the Mississippi valley, and crossing the great wheat fields of Dakota and Eastern Washington, the stock ranges of Montana, and the gold and silver ribbed mountains of Montana and Idaho, embraces also the wonders of the Yellowstone National Park, and the incomparable scenery of the Columbia river, to crown all with the stupendous sights of that Great Land whose unique natural features have earned for it the well-deserved title of "Wonderland." No longer one of peril and hardship, but, on the contrary, one of absolute luxury, this tour has, within the last two years, attracted thousands of pilgrims from all parts of the civilized world. To them, as well as to all other lovers of the sublime and beautiful, and to the students of the mysteries of Nature in all lands, who may have the good fortune to visit the far Northwest in 1886, the following pages are respectfully inscribed.

Through Wonderland to Alaska (Classic Reprint) by William H. Myers Pdf
Excerpt from Through Wonderland to Alaska The readers of the times, while they will be pleased to hear of the safe return of our esteemed townsman, Rev. Wm. H. Myers, from his trip to Alaska, will no doubt be sorry to miss a continuation of the graphically-written'letters of travel which he has contributed to the columns of this paper for several months past. These letters lhaye called out many com plimentary expressions from among a large circle of admlring readers, and the general consensus of Opinion is that in point of close observation, fine descriptive power, felicity of expression, the apt use of his torical incidents with which the writer ih terwove his interesting narrative, these letters possess a value and literary attract iveness that entitles them to more than the mere passing interest that attaches to a newspaper publication. They should be collected and printed in book-form, as they would adorn any library. - Eu'. Times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Wonderland, Or the Pacific Northwest and Alaska by John Hyde Pdf
Excerpt from Wonderland, or the Pacific Northwest and Alaska: With a Description of the Country Traversed by the Northern Pacific Railroad Now, if the American people, or such of them as have the means and leisure to travel, are not open to the reproach of caring nothing for the beauties and wonders of the world they live. In, that they have sought them hitherto in the eastern rather than the western hemisphere is a fact too notorious to be called in question. It is doubtful whether, of the Americans who visited Europe during the summer of 1887, one in a hundred had ever gazed upon the mysterious and awe-inspiring scenes of that greatest of the world's natural wonders, the Yellowstone National Park; or whether even one in a thousand had experienced that indescribable exaltation of feeling which takes possession of the traveler as he looks for the first time upon the mountains and glaciers of imperial Alaska.

The Wonderland - Alaska by Archana Datta,Subhash Chandra Datta,Amitava Datta Pdf
The Wonderland - Alaska is a travel account of Alaska. The story has been started with an introduction to unfold Alaska as a whole to the readers. Then we have started to describe our day to day travel story with photographs in the section of "A few days in Alaska". In each day of the story we have tried to highlight the important places, landscape, glacial features, natural vegetations, wildlife, native people, history and economy of that area, as and when required. Besides those things we have tried to share thrilling experience of hiking on the Matanuska Glacier, unforgettable feeling to touch the Arctic Ocean from one of the last land point of the world. The amazing dance of the Northern Light or Aurora Borealis, the divine beauty of Alaska - has also been highlighted in this travel story.
Alaska - Our Northern Wonderland (1923) by Frank G. Carpenter Pdf
PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...
