Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rainbow's End: Alaska And it was the second day: They Sped across the prairies, the level threshing floors Of the world's gran ary, swept clean of wheat now, with pools of water showing that Dame Nature had barely finished her Spring house-cleaning. Flowers peered out every where as they passed; the year was too young for hard work. The third day they passed through Bismarck, North Dakota, a town which has always had enough cranks to turn every freak machine extant. They crossed the muddy Missouri at the little town Of Mandan, named from the curious blue-eyed Indians who once lived about it, a powerful tribe. At Medora they caught Sight of the Marquis de Mores' castle, high perched upon a crag, and of the great packing houses builded with his American wife's rocks. The little town was named after her. At the mansion extravagant hospitality was once dispensed. House parties feasted, danced, hunted, marveling at the surrounding wilder ness and the luxury that had invaded it. But the mar quis has ended his adventurous life in far away Africa, the great buildings are abandoned, like the foolish scheme that demanded them, and serve only to bring to mind a man whose fine riding and personal bravery were his most conspicuous virtues.

Book excerpt: Determined to escape her horrible life in Ohio, Samantha Perry agrees to marry a man looking for a mail-order bride to join him in the Yukon where he is panning for gold. But she quickly learns, upon her arrival in the far north, Joel Houseman is not the man she expected him to be. Joel hides his secrets, and his reasons for wanting her to become his bride seem to have nothing to do with love. The fierce weather, the harsh conditions, and lies urge her to flee. Her heart longs to stay when Joel’s hard exterior begins to fall away, and she sees the man he tries to hide. But he has lied to her before. Can she believe him now and find a love more precious than gold?

Download or read book Picture This, Alaska written by Deb Vanasse and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In more than 100 historic photographs, this book captures the remarkable story of this vast and complex state. An elderly Inupiat woman is clearly pleased with her long line of drying fish fillets on a windy and sunny day. A pack train carries 1,200 pounds of gold destined for the First National Bank of Fairbanks. A man with suit and fedora plays a violin while sitting on a piece of ice in the Chena River. A posed shot from the turn of the century shows well-dressed women (likely prostitutes) in Klondike City. The passage of time reveals the change of structures from sod houses to tents to log cabins to detailed Victorian homes, but the indomitable spirit of the people remains evident across generations. Deb Vanasse's thoughtful text and expert selection of images - from snapshots to formal studies - bring a remarkable world to life for readers.

Book excerpt: In 1898, Nome, Alaska, burst into the American consciousness when one of the largest gold strikes in the world occurred on its shores. Over the next ten years, Nome’s population exploded as both men and women came north to seek their fortunes. Closer to Siberia than to New York, Nome’s citizens created their own version of small-town America on the northern frontier. Less than 150 miles from the Arctic Circle, they weathered the Great War and the diphtheria epidemic of 1925 as well as floods, fires, and the Great Depression. They enlivened the Alaska winters with pastimes such as high-school basketball and social clubs. Empire’s Edge is the story of how ordinary Americans made a life on the edge of a continent—a life both ordinary and extraordinary.

Download or read book Rainbow's End written by Maury Klein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rainbow's End tells the story of the stock market collapse in a colorful, swift-moving narrative that blends a vivid portrait of the 1920s with an intensely gripping account of Wall Street's greatest catastrophe. The book offers a vibrant picture of a world full of plungers, powerful bankers, corporate titans, millionaire brokers, and buoyantly optimistic stock market bulls. We meet Sunshine Charley Mitchell, head of the National City Bank, powerful financiers Jack Morgan and Jacob Schiff, Wall Street manipulators such as the legendary Jesse Livermore, and the lavish-living Billy Durant, founder of General Motors. As Klein follows the careers of these men, he shows us how the financial house of cards gradually grew taller, as the irrational exuberance of an earlier age gripped America and convinced us that the market would continue to rise forever. Then, in October 1929, came a "perfect storm"-like convergence of factors that shook Wall Street to its foundations. We relive Black Thursday, when police lined Wall Street, brokers grew hysterical, customers "bellowed like lunatics," and the ticker tape fell hours behind. This compelling history of the Crash--the first to follow the market closely for the two years leading up to the disaster--illuminates a major turning point in our history.

Download or read book Captain Jack written by James A. McQuiston and published by Father of the Yukon. This book was released on 2007 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So, why'd they call him Jack? Born Leroy Napoleon McQuesten, this Yukon legend was given the moniker of "Captain Jack" after his heroic rescue of ship and crew, on his first trip out on salt water, at the age of 22. A magnet for nicknames, he became known as Father of the Yukon, Father of Alaska, Golden Rule McQuesten, Prince of Goodfellows and a host of other affectionate titles. Famous authors, Jack London and Pierre Berton, were fans of Captain Jack and wrote extensively on him. Early Yukon explorers, Frederick Schwatka and William Ogilvie, did the same. Though captain of the very first steamboats on the Yukon, chief trader on the river, and grubstaker of thousands of gold miners, Jack's story has lain hidden in the pages of several dozen books and newspapers, until now. "Captain Jack: Father of the Yukon" is the definitive work on this true American hero and his adventures in the final frontier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join Dave, Sam, and Mae Lee as they visit Gramma and Gramps, caretakers of the Joseph Bates Home, in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. The adventure begins when each child is given a special gift—and a task—from Gramma and Gramps. Using their gifts, and the kindness in their hearts, they explore the nature and history surrounding this historic home of one of the great Adventist pioneers. Follow along with them as they discover why Joseph Bates became a sea captain, how he learned the advent message, and his role in the keeping of the seventh-day Sabbath. Not everyone is excited that Dave, Sam, and Mae have come to town. While helping Gramma and Gramps with the museum, they must contend with an especially grumpy neighbor who wants them to stay off of her land. The kids, however, are undeterred and wonder what showing kindness and the love of God could do to that old, prickly heart. This story of family, fellowship, and kindness, which offers a glimpse into early Adventist history, will be a valuable addition to any library.
