Book Description
Excerpt from Stikine River Route to the Klondike: Shortest, Safest, Quickest and Best The high mountain ranges of South-eastern Alaska which barricade approach from the Pacific to the head waters of the Yukon, crossing at their lowest passes near Dyea and Skaguay being attended with hardships and loss of property and life, are nowhere opened for a practicable route of travel inland at sea-level except at the canons of the Stikine River. Along this line the travel is through instead of Over the mountains, and sitting instead of Walking - resting comfortably in chair and bed instead of toiling on foot up steep acclivities and floundering in mire and among sharp rocks and death holes.
