Book Synopsis Floating Coast: An Environmental History of the Bering Strait by : Bathsheba Demuth
Download or read book Floating Coast: An Environmental History of the Bering Strait written by Bathsheba Demuth and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking exploration of the relationship between capitalism, communism, and Arctic ecology since the dawn of the industrial age. Whales and walruses, caribou and fox, gold and oil: through the stories of these animals and resources, Bathsheba Demuth reveals how people have turned ecological wealth in a remote region into economic growth and state power for more than 150 years. The first-ever comprehensive history of Beringia, the Arctic land and waters stretching from Russia to Canada, Floating Coast breaks away from familiar narratives to provide a fresh and fascinating perspective on an overlooked landscape. The unforgiving territory along the Bering Strait had long been home to humans—the Inupiat and Yupik in Alaska, and the Yupik and Chukchi in Russia—before Americans and Europeans arrived with revolutionary ideas for progress. Rapidly, these frigid lands and waters became the site of an ongoing experiment: How, under conditions of extreme scarcity, would the great modern ideologies of capitalism and communism control and manage the resources they craved? Drawing on her own experience living with and interviewing indigenous people in the region, as well as from archival sources, Demuth shows how the social, the political, and the environmental clashed in this liminal space. Through the lens of the natural world, she views human life and economics as fundamentally about cycles of energy, bringing a fresh and visionary spin to the writing of human history. Floating Coast is a profoundly resonant tale of the dynamic changes and unforeseen consequences that immense human needs and ambitions have brought, and will continue to bring, to a finite planet.
Download or read book Ice and Gold written by Steven Trebilcock and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-06-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In times of economic hardship, peoples of any nation will immigrate to better their lot in life. But nothing in history has ever matched the number and scope of those who stepped into the unknown by leaving everything behind in the hopes of 'striking it rich' once gold was discovered in the Klondike region of the Yukon Territory in western Canada. Though the gold deposits were discovered in 1896, word of the extraordinary find didn't reach the world until the following spring of 1897, when the first millionaire miners and their bullion reached the cities of Seattle and San Francisco by steamer from the new boom town of Dawson City. 'GOLD FEVER' and everything that connotation suggests was sparked across the entire world by this arrival, causing literally tens of thousands to leave their homes, jobs, and loved ones behind to journey into the untamed wilderness of the north. They came from virtually every continent; some for the sheer exciting adventure of it, others as a last-ditch effort to find fame and fortune. The great thing about the historical record, is that we know many of the people and events that transpired during this raucous time. However, we can only guess at what the conversations were, or what personal actions precipitated the event. This is where the writer comes in; to entertain with speculation, by filling in the blanks with a possible scenario, and I hope I've provided that. This is fictitious story, inspired by actual characters and events that took place during this unprecedented period of unbridled struggle, greed, entrepreneurship, and adventure, where relationships were built and shattered by the very nature of the human species. The series is an odyssey about the change humans will make in their character when they are isolated from civilization's constraints. Set within true events that took place in the wilderness of the Yukon beginning in 1896, it explores how the human condition is affected by compulsion and greed when left unchecked by what most consider normal restrictions. We will follow the three main characters as they make their way to the new boom town of Dawson City, where their lives will be intertwined for all time, and watch as their relationships and personalities are changed forever by the fever, the gold, and each other. Come with us and be drawn in by the vibrant dialect of the times, as you are immersed in a wonderous days that will never be repeated. This is the first book in the series: 'The Gold'. The second book 'Overland to Dawson' should be released late July 2023.
Book Synopsis El Sueno de Oro the Dream of Gold by : Phillip Michael Coffee
Download or read book El Sueno de Oro the Dream of Gold written by Phillip Michael Coffee and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2007-11-06 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Sueño de Oro is a day-by-day account of an expedition for gold in Alaska from August of 1897 to August of 1899. The "log" was created by the leader of the expedition, William Mills Coffee, then of Santa Cruz, California. The log entries create a flowing story of the El Sueño expedition from San Francisco to the Bering Sea and up the Yukon River in Alaska. The El Sueño party searched for gold by dog sled, boat and on foot during the harsh winters of Alaska, where the temperatures were recorded as low as -80 degrees. During the two years there were mutinies, deaths, marriages, amputations, shipwrecks and various accounts of the Alaskan wilderness. The book is an historical account of one man's search for gold, very well documented with photos, maps of probable gold locations and claims, and financial records of the expedition. The Master Carpenter Certificates of the two ships involved with the expedition, "Bessie K" and "El Sueño", are included.

Book Synopsis Boom and Bust in the Alaska Goldfields by : Steven C. Levi
Download or read book Boom and Bust in the Alaska Goldfields written by Steven C. Levi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-11-30 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively narrative with its numerous illustrations and photographs, Steven C. Levi captures the color and the riches of the Alaska Gold Rush and tells the stories of the larger-than-life characters who lived the adventure. The Alaska Gold Rush at the end of the 19th century was the last great fit of gold fever in North America. Men and women—including African Americans, Portuguese, Japanese, Italians, and Chinese—all rushed north. Many of these adventurers died in the harsh Arctic winters or drowned in the leaky, rotting ships that ferried them to the gold fields. The Gold Rush created the geography of modern Alaska and brought its rich natural resources and large Native population under the eye of the American government. This book, says Levi, is not intended to be an overview of the Alaska Gold Rush. Rather, it is meant to provide a myriad of glimpses into the lives of people and events of the age. This is a book of popular history. If you find it interesting, don't thank the writer; credit the 100,000 men and women who rushed north in search of the precious yellow metal a century ago. Far to the north of the 48 contiguous states, writes Steven C. Levi, is a land shrouded with the miasma of adventure. It is a land of glaciers the size of some states and fish the size of some cities. Its history is steeped in intrigue, scoundrels abound, and things that could never occur anywhere else on earth happened here. It has everything one has come to expect of an exotic port-and more. This land is Alaska. The Alaska Gold Rush at the end of the 19th century was the last great fit of gold fever in North America. It promised untold riches to anyone who could get there, and created a last-ditch, wild-west culture of greed and sin—a perfect haven for dreamers and scoundrels alike. Men and women—including African Americans, Portuguese, Japanese, Italians, and Chinese—all rushed north. Many of these adventurers died in the harsh Arctic winters or drowned in the leaky, rotting ships that ferried the dreamers to the gold fields. The Gold Rush created the geography of modern Alaska. Strikes in Nome (where the gold lay on the beach and anyone could reach down and pick it up), Juneau, Fairbanks, Valdez, and Kotzebue helped put Alaska on the map and brought its rich natural resources and large Native population under the eye of the American government. In this lively narrative with its numerous illustrations and photographs, Steven C. Levi captures the color and the riches of the Alaska Gold Rush and tells the stories of the larger-than-life characters who lived the adventure. E. T. Barnette, for example, founded his own city (Fairbanks), established his own bank (Washington Alaska), and then absconded with every dime in the vault. George Hinton Henry, the father of Alaska journalism, was run out of every town where he tried to establish a newspaper. This book, says Levi, is not intended to be an overview of the Alaska Gold Rush. Rather, it is meant to provide a myriad of glimpses into the lives of people and events of the age. This is a book of popular history. If you find it interesting, don't thank the writer; credit the 100,000 men and women who rushed north in search of the precious yellow metal a century ago.
