Description: Originally published in 1913, this is a later printing. Frontis with several additional black and white plates. Also includes a fold-out map in color. The publisher's blurb reads: ''What Alaska is, what it is going to be in the future, together with a brief account of the sturdy pioneers who have been developing it, forms the subject of Mr. Underwood's most timely and interesting book. It is no dry recital of facts and figures but is a gripping story of the last America West written by one who is a part of it. Having lived for years in the country he describes, the author has the facts at his finger tips; and being a trained newspaper man and magazine writer, he knows how to make the facts tell.'' (remember this written in 1913).
