Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Trip to the Klondike Through the Stereoscope: From Chicago, Ill., To St. Michaels, Alaska, During That Marvelous Crusade in 1897-8 to the Gold Fields of Alaska
As a means of liberal education and healthful recrea tion, no tour of equal length could be more desirable than that from the Atlantic seaboard to the ports of Southeast ern Alaska. A most extraordinary panorama is thus pre sented. The masterful enterprises of American energy and genius which have developed our great commercial centers the grand sweeping prairies, rolling plains and ample val leys of the middle West and the ever-changing glories of the Rockies, Sierras and Cascades, all furnish interest, beauty and grandeur which satisfy but never satiate.
As the tourist enters Alaskan waters new scenic won ders greet the vision. The lofty and shimmering summits of snow and the mighty rivers of the ice with their glisten ing cascades, present a spectacle unsurpassed in the majesty of its grandeur.
