Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Alaska Nuggets Throughout the ages which have elapsed since the first man was banished from the Garden of Eden, the wanderlust has lured both men and women to the far corners of the earth in quest of something new and strange. The lure of the glittering metal called gold and the desire for unbridled freedom have caused man and also woman to leave behind the comforts of civilization to journey over the "unblazed trails" which lead through the "open places" of the big "out-doors." These men and women are known as Pioneers and it is to them and the children of them that the credit should go for the blazing of trails into unknown lands. The Pioneers of Alaska, those men and women who prospected the remote places of the Territory, where they established camps that have since become thriving towns and cities, deserve the lion´s share of the credit for the development of Alaska. These hardy, sincere men and women have builded a lasting foundation on which those who follow in their footsteps can erect permanent homes, and in the years to come the "Chechaco" who journeys to Alaska, will find all of those things that are to be found at the present time in the highly civilized communities throughout the world. Alaska, now an infant in swaddling clothes will soon learn to walk. Her footsteps will be guided by the sons and daughters of the men and women who blazed the trails to the far camps, and as she grows she will take her rightful place among the other states of the union, and her people will have a voice in the councils of the Nation. The verses in this little volume are not literary gems such as the famous poets have written; they are simply a collection of typical Alaskan life and have been written with the sincere desire to portray Alaska and the people of Alaska as they really are. I am confident that those people who know Alaska will see the real in all the lines. I am also certain that those people who have yet to know the real Alaska will be greatly assisted in the lesson they must learn before they can know it, by reading these humble lines.
