Produktbeschreibung
The young Alaskans on the trail presents a journey of learning, courage, and connection to the land as it follows a group of youths guided through the vast and untamed Rocky Mountains. The story emphasizes self-reliance forged through close observation, respect for knowledge passed down by experienced mentors, and the strengthening of bonds through shared responsibility. As the boys prepare for their expedition, they confront both the awe and unpredictability of the wilderness, developing deeper awareness not only of nature but of their own capabilities. The environment acts as both teacher and test, demanding alertness, cooperation, and determination. Tracing paths once used by explorers and traders, the characters step into a historical current that enriches their understanding of place and legacy. This encounter with a landscape that is at once beautiful and unforgiving becomes a space of growth, where excitement meets discipline and curiosity yields transformation. Through careful preparation and action, the story explores how purpose, friendship, and guidance shape those who are willing to venture into the unknown.
Autorenporträt
American writer Emerson Hough (1857 1923) was well-known for his large body of historical writing, essays, and novels, especially in the western fiction genre. Hough, who was born in Newton, Iowa, on June 28, 1857, was greatly impacted by the American West's scenery and people. He briefly practiced law after earning his law degree from the University of Iowa in 1880 before deciding to become a writer. Hough's early western-themed writings, such as "The Story of the Cowboy" (1897), launched his literary career and solidified his status as a western fiction author. His books "The Mississippi Bubble" (1902) and "The Covered Wagon" (1922), the latter of which was made into a popular silent film, won him significant praise. Hough wrote on the spirit of exploration, adventure, and hardy individuality of the American frontier throughout his life. His writings contributed to the romanticization of the West in American literature by frequently capturing the struggles and victories of settlers, cowboys, and pioneers.
