Book Synopsis Experiences of Gold Hunters in Alaska by : Charles Anson Margeson
Download or read book Experiences of Gold Hunters in Alaska written by Charles Anson Margeson and published by [Hornellsville, N.Y.] : The author. This book was released on 1899 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiences of Gold Hunters in Alaska is a classic account of the Valdez-Copper River phase of the great Klondike Gold Rush of 1898 and a topnotch narrative of a real-life Alaskan adventure. Unlike most written histories of that gold rush that tell of the passage to Dyea or Skagway, over the Chilkoot Pass and White Pass, and down to the Klondike fields in Yukon, Charles Margeson tells the story that he and 3500 other gold seekers experienced as they traversed the Valdez Glacier and descended the Klutina River to the Copper River. The author describes his journey beginning in Missouri in 1897 and resulted in a trip from Seattle to Alaska and back to Seattle in 1898. The book covers the early story of Valdez and the hazards encountered in the Tonsena (now Tonsina) Valley. Although they discovered little gold, their quest made a difference for their efforts resulted in the exploration and development of much of Southcentral and Interior Alaska. They established the port city of Valdez which was to become the major transportation and shipping corridor from interior to coastal Alaska--a corridor now more famous for its black than yellow gold.

Excerpt: ...back to in after years as one of the bright spots among so many dark and gloomy hours which made up the greater part of the time in these men's heroic struggle after gold. Much has been said since the war with Spain began about heroic sacrifice, and braving danger, all of which is doubtless true; but after the months passed on this Alaskan campaign, and seeing what I have seen, I can not think that our army and navy have given to the world any higher types of heroes--though they have been by their association rendered more conspicuous--than were developed in the wilds of Alaskan forests, or over Alaskan ice mountains. A restaurant was opened on the island, and for two months, while so many were on their way back to the States, did a thriving business. It was a great resort for the boys, for the keeper had a phonograph with a large selection of records, both vocal and instrumental. One day Stickwon.--the chief of the Stick Indians, --with his entire family, consisting of himself and wife and three children (a son twenty-one years old, a daughter of eighteen, and a little boy of five), was on a hunting expedition to the head waters of the Klutina River, and had stopped off a few days at the island to visit the white people. They had killed four caribou on their way up from Copper River, and so were well supplied with fresh meat, a part of which they tfaded with the miners for " muck-muck," which is their name for all kinds of provisions. One afternoon Stickwon and his family called at this restaurant, and being of an inquisitive nature, as all these Indians are, and looking about the place to see what was to be seen, came across the phonograph, and began to examine it curiously. The proprietor of the place, noticing this, ...

Book Synopsis Gold in Trib 1 by : Douglas Anderson
Download or read book Gold in Trib 1 written by Douglas Anderson and published by Publication Consultants. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gold in Trib 1 is an account of a flying, hiking, and gold prospecting adventure in wild, present-day Alaska. It is the story of the exploits of two good friends and their adventures while prospecting for gold. It is a factual account where possible and where not factual, it is the way they would have liked it. As a result, readers will enjoy the book for what it is, and will not take it so seriously as to dash off with expectations of finding their fortune. There is still much gold in Alaska, but Douglas may have made discovering the Glory Hole, wherever it may be, sound somewhat easier and more financially rewarding than it really was.
