Book excerpt: This is a true story of Ohioans & their Alaska Gold Prospecting in the Yukon, Koyukuk, Tanana & Chena River's Wilderness from their original, unpublished diaries, letters & photographs, told within the context of Alaskan heritage. Alaska is celebrating the Centennial of the Gold Rush & Ohio will be celebrating their Bicentennial; local historians will study their common history. Hardy individualists will listen to the men tell their challenges of high adventure & imagine themselves to be a part of one of the greatest gold rushes in history. Their photographs of the Athabaskan families & descriptions of the Esquimaux at Alaska are culturally significant.

Although this has not been written about the Klondike Gold Rush in Canada, this is the first extensive diary of the Gold Rush in Alaska, on the Koyukuk & Chena Rivers in 1898-1900, prior to the discovery of gold & founding of Fairbanks in 1902.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I owe Alaska. It gave me everything I have.” Says Sidney Huntington, son of an Athapaskan mother and white trader/trapper father. Growing up on the Koyukuk River in Alaska’s harsh Interior, that “everything” spans 78 years of tragedies and adventures. When his mother died suddenly, 5-year-old Huntington protected and cared for his younger brother and sister during two weeks of isolation. Later, as a teenager, he plied the wilderness traplines with his father, nearly freezing to death several times. One spring, he watched an ice-filled breakup flood sweep his family’s cabin and belongings away. These and many other episodes are the compelling background for the story of a man who learned the lessons of a land and culture, lessons that enabled him to prosper as trapper, boat builder, and fisherman. This is more than one man's incredible tale of hardship and success in Alaska. It is also a tribute to the Athapaskan traditions and spiritual beliefs that enabled him and his ancestors to survive. His story, simply told, is a testament to the durability of Alaska's wild lands and to the strength of the people who inhabit them.

Book excerpt: Long Beach was one of the many Southern California cities that grew out of the railroad fare wars of the late 1880s. It was built by men and women who toiled to make it the great metropolis it is today. These are the tales of those who died or are buried in Long Beach. Some were illustrious in their time, others just common folk with interesting stories to tell. Politicians, city founders, visitors, influenza victims, Civil War veterans and accident victims are all discussed here, as well as the hospitals, doctors, undertakers and others who cared for the dead and dying. But what makes Long Beachs Sunnyside and Municipal cemeteries different from all others is the question of whether the bodies said to be there still remain. The cemetery wars of the 1920s erupted when oil was discovered on Signal Hill. Oil and other debris ran over the graves and the promised mausoleum that many had already paid for was cast aside in favor of black gold. People were angry, barricading themselves by the cemeteries gates to prevent oil rigs from getting to the mausoleum site. Slant drilling caused headstones and markers to sink into the ground, graves were covered by the run off debris from the oil fields above. Many bodies were moved, their headstones left behind, with haphazard records kept of where the corpses were relocated. It would take a 10 year court case to determine if the dead still had rights. In this book you will learn about the fascinating history of Long Beachs unique cemeteries, the stories of those said to be buried in them, and whether Long Beachs cities of the dead may be haunted by angry souls whose final abode did not allow them to rest in peace.

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.
