Trailing And Camping In Alaska

At a glance..

This narrative was written by a follower of the trail in Mount Sanford, where there was one to follow, and not by a follower of a Longfellow, a Cooper or a Stevenson. It is told in the simple language of the trailers, and unnecessarily long words or elaborate descriptions have been avoided.

The details..

Trailing and Camping in Alaska takes readers on an adventure through the wilds of Alaska with Addison M. Powell as their guide. The book offers a unique perspective into life on the frontier during its early days, when men were rugged individualists who lived off the land.

The author shares his personal experiences camping amidst some of nature's most awe-inspiring landscapes including towering mountains, glaciers, volcanoes, waterfalls and forests that are home to giant animals from prehistoric times.

Powell also provides insights into mining operations throughout this vast territory which has yielded over three hundred million dollars worth of minerals since it was acquired by Secretary Seward for America.

The naturalist will appreciate how Powell describes vegetation growth patterns along with bones from ancient creatures that once roamed these lands long before humans arrived there. This book is an invitation to visit one of America's last frontiers where you can experience first-hand what makes it so special.
