Excerpt from A Cheechako in Alaska and Yukon The war, thank God, had ended. There was no further sacrifice of splendid lives. And as I progressed through that beautiful State of California, Queen of the Pacific, with its glorious sunshine, carpets of wild-flowers, snow-clad moun tains, and golden harvests of yellow oranges, yellow gold, and, in the north, yellow grain, I began to have thoughts of Alaska. On the Pacific Coast one seems, quite near, as Seattle is the principal port for embarkation to Alaska. One meets people who have lived there, who speak of the Great Country, as the Indians used to. Call it. My mind was made up. Here, then, was an opportunity to realize that dream of my childhood and see Nome. But I am patriotic, and ardently desired to see the Yukon as well, so determined to wait until the snow and ice had melted in June. And thus it happened that in Golden California I abided until the season favoured my long-anticipated journey.

Excerpt from Voyages on the Yukon, and Its Tributaries: A Narrative of Summer Travel in the Interior of Alaska A preface is useful, if it be useful at all, in convey ing to the reader some fuller notion of the nature of the book he holds in his hand than the brevity of the title page permits, so that he may have guidance as to whether it be worth his reading or not. This book, then, while quite complete in itself, is written as supplement and complement to Ten Thou sand Miles with a dog-sled, and forms therewith a survey of the interior of Alaska under the totally differ ent aspects of winter and summer. In winter one travels with the dog team almost wherever one wishes; summer travel is confined to the waterways with which interior Alaska is so liberally supplied; so that a book on river voyages may really deal with the whole country so far as the summer is concerned.

Excerpt from Alaska-Yukon Caribou A favorite method of ca turing caribou was by means of snare fences (pl. 2, A). A pole 'ence was constructed, sometimes extend ing for miles in the path of the migrating herds. At intervals a gap was made, in which was placed a rawhide noose. The caribou, seek ing to pass the fence, would find the opening and as they attempted to go through would be caught in the snare.

Excerpt from The Indians of the Yukon and Tanana Valleys, Alaska In company with Dr. Thomas S. Carrington I left Seattle, Washington, by steamer on June 2d. We made close connections at all transfer points, and arrived at Eagle, Alaska, June 12th - the first town west of the border line. It was exceedingly difficult to get any satisfactory information in Seattle, or elsewhere in the States, as to what we should take with us in the way of an outfit, but we were strongly advised to purchase a boat and ship it up to Eagle. This we did, together with an overboard gasoline motor and such other supplies as seemed to us necessary for ordinary comfort. We made our final preparations at Eagle, and then proceeded in our 18-foot open boat, on a trip of about 1600 miles, stopping at all towns and settlements and many fish camps and wood camps along the Yukon River from Eagle to Holy Cross, and on the Tanana River from Fairbanks to Fort Gibbon. To have undertaken the trip by the regular steamers would have meant a great waste of time, much inconvenience, and considerable expense; the steamer schedule is infrequent and uncertain, and it would have been necessary for us to have waited a week in some small place before we could get away, when we could not profitably have spent more than a half-day there. We did not reveal our identity, except on one or two occasions, but traveled as tourists, in order that we might see conditions as they were, and especially observe the attitude of the whites toward the Indians. We were hospitably received throughout the trip, and the people whom we met - and we endeavored to overlook none - expressed themselves freely on all topics that were brought up for discussion.

Excerpt from Alaska and the Klondike When the special subcommittee of the Senate Com mittee on Territories visited Alaska in the summer of 1903 for the purpose of gathering information which would enable them to legislate wisely and helpfully with regard to that great district, I was fortunate enough to obtain permission to accompany the senatorial party in an unofficial capacity. The trip occupied, approximately, ten weeks, and carried us not only through the interior, along the whole course of the Yukon River, but to many places on the coast and among the islands not readily accessible by the regular means of travel. As will be readily under stood, enjoyed peculiarly favourable opportunities to study the resources and the possibilities of the country, and the following pages on Alaska, in their original form, were written for my paper after my return home, and published in it exclusively. There appears to be a demand for reliable and up-to-date information about that coun try - that, and the urgent request of men who have read what I have written, and who know Alaska, that it be given permanent and convenient form, are the excuses for this volume. For this purpose the original story of Alaska has been carefully revised and the statistical information brought down to include the commercial and industrial operations of the year 1904.

Excerpt from To Alaska for Gold: Or the Fortune Hunters of the Yukon The rush to the far-away territory of Alaska, when gold in large quantities was discovered upon Klondike Creek, was somewhat similar to the rush to California in years gone by. The gold fever spread to even the remotest of our hamlets, and men, young and old, poured forth, ready to endure every hardship if only the much-coveted prize might be secured. That many succeeded and that many more failed is now a matter of history, although of recent date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Discharge of Yukon River at Eagle, Alaska Thus it is evident that interior Alaska is a region of small rainfall. Indeed, Abbe 1 has Observed in regard to this region that the range of precipitation is characteristic Of that portion of the United States which lies between the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains north of the latitude Of Salt Lake City. The meagerness of the rain fall is impressed upon one who becomes acquainted with the status of placer mining in the interior. Large placer fields lie dormant for lack of water to work them, and in various localities hundreds of thou sands of dollars have been spent in constructing canals that have been almost a total failure because Of insufficient water supply. During the period corresponding closely to that from October to March, inclusive, all precipitation occurs as snow, and it accumulates to depths of 2 to 5 feet in the different seasons. With the warm days of April and May the snow commences to thaw rapidly and soon dis appears from the places most exposed to the rays of the sun, but on the north Slopes and in the deep gulches snow banks remain until far into the summer. The in uence Of the melting snow on the streams is large in the early summer, but as the season advances it gradually decreases until the run-o derived from this 'source is practically inappreciable.
