Valdez
Gold Rush Trails of 1898-99
A
detailed perspective of the "All-American Route" to the gold fields during
the 1898 Klondike gold rush. More than 4,000 argonauts crossed
the
Valdez Glacier during this time period: a few found gold; more significantly
to the industrial development of south-central Alaska, some
found
copper. The authors include a "Roll Call" listing of names of persons
known to have traveled this route.

Experiences
of Gold Hunters in Alaska
Charles
Margeson's work is a rare book on two accounts. First, most of the
original copies were destroyed in a warehouse fire soon after publication.
Secondly, it is a first-rate narrative of a real-life Alaskan adventure
and the definitive account of the Valdez and Copper River phase of the
great Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. In these pages, Margeson vividly
describes the events that led to the development and exploration of much
of central Alaska.

Trailing
and Camping in Alaska (1908)
Entertaining
tales of the Valdez and Copper River gold rush by one of its most literate
participants. In this work, Powell proves himself to be the perfect campfire
companion. His stories and storytelling remind one of Mark Twain while
his wit and sense of humor sometimes exceed the
master's.
Powell's humor captures life on the Alaskan frontier better than some of
the more serious histories.
AUTHOR:
Addison M. Powell (1899); Edited with an introduction by Jim and Nancy
Lethcoe.
