Sunken Klondike GoldPaperback

Sunken Klondike Gold

When the 240-foot SS Islander hit an iceberg in Alaska's inside waters just 12 miles from Juneau in 1901, Capt. H.R. Foote decided to make a desperate run for nearby Douglas Island. But it was too late. Water was pouring into a huge gash in the port bow. The stern was rising. The pride of the Canadian Pacific fleet quickly sank. In 1933, Seattle and Portland house-mover Frank Curtis proposed a bold salvage plan. Accompanied by 85 extraordinary photographs and illustrations, this is an insider's story of a two-year struggle to raise the Islander, a record-breaking salvage that focused on a single prize - an elusive fortune in gold.

The Tlingit IndiansPaperback

The Tlingit Indians

In 1881, two German geographers were on their way back to the continental United States from the Bering Sea coast, when they came upon a Native population in Southeast Alaska that had formed a society far more complex than those of most other North American tribes. Upon return to Germany, Aurel Krause published The Tlingit Indians. In it were rich, detailed descriptions of the Tlingit kinship system, societal structure, village and family life, customs and traditions, subsistence living, arts and crafts, mythology and shamanism, a language glossary, and an extensive bibliography. Aurel's brother, Arthur, sketched many of the illustrations. This enduring comprehensive resource offers the contemporary reader a glimpse into the history and traditions of an important Northwest Coast culture. Forward by Dee Longenbaugh.
