The search for gold in Alaska offers opportunities for narrow escapes and exciting adventures no less than the military campaigns which have absorbed a large number of young heroes. Mr. Stratemeyer has managed to impress the necessity for pluck and industry by telling illustration. He has endeavored to picture this pioneer life as accurately as possible. Nearly every incident cited has been taken from the actual experiences of miners in the gold fields.
This edition of the book contains four original illustrations, rejuvenated, and six additional mining illustrations that are unique to this edition of the book.
