About This Book

The narrative presents a two-month travelogue documenting an overland and river voyage from the American heartland to the Yukon and back along the Pacific coast. Written as letters and illustrated with photographs and maps, it traces stages from Great Lakes and prairie towns through mountain passes and coastal ports to Skagway, Atlin and Dawson, describing rail and steamer travel, glacier and river scenery, frontier life in the Klondike, prospecting and sluicing techniques, dog teams, and local industries and social scenes. Interwoven are practical observations on transport, government operations, and towns visited, with frequent scenic and human details recorded for readers interested in northern travel.

Transcriber’s Note

Small inconsistencies in punctuation in the Index and captions of photographs have been resolved. Two ‘N’ entries in the Index (“Narrow-gauge railway” and “Northwest Mounted Police”), were misplaced, and have been moved to their correct positions.

There were several other indexing errors:

“Portland was corrected to refer to p. 219.
“Cincinati” was corrected to refer to p. 324.

The following obvious printer’s errors are noted, and where unambiguous, have been corrected.
