Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mad Rush for Gold in Frozen North A thrilling adventure of a party of eighteen gold seekers who left New York City in the winter of 1897, headed by Arthur A. Dietz, who has been physical director of the Young Men´s Christian Associations at New York City, Lockport, N. Y., Torrington, Conn. and Coatesville, Pa., and at present in the Playground Department of Los Angeles, Cal. Of the eighteen men who started out, only four of the party ever reached civilization alive, and of the four, two are totally blind, while the other two were left with very poor sight, due to the glaring effect of the sun on the snow and ice. The party traveled many miles into the very heart of Alaska, crossing immense glaciers, which had never been crossed by white man before. This wonderful true adventure is far more absorbing than any of the fiction that has been written about Alaska and has a decided educational value. During the time he was away Mr. Dietz kept a diary in which he recorded his adventures up until the time when he lost all record of time in the great Arctic night, but he kept a record of every incident for the two years and two months that he was away.
