Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Adventure in Alaska, During the Gold Excitement of 1897-1898: A Personal Experience My dear Father and Mother: - You have both several times expressed to me a wish that I would, sometime, write up for you some of my experiences which you think in some cases have been unusual. You have especially desired that I should tell of three particular events - my trip to Alasks in 1897, my experiences in China during the Boxer War of 1900, and my two years in Luzon during the Tagalog Insurrection, 1901-1902. As my trip to Alaska was the first of these occurrences, naturally it should be first related, leaving the other two to follow when time and circumstances permit. Recently I found a manuscript and some extensive notes of this Alaska trip, made immediately upon my return and finished later while I was stationed at Fort Flagler in 1904. These I have gone over and put together in this little book. It is written in a conversational way, rather in the American language than the English, I should say, and of course, makes no pretence to any literary merit. Whatever it is, it is a true and intimate relation, and I take great pleasure in presenting it to you, for your amusement and entertainment, and for the entertainment of such of our friends as may be interested.
