• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

REVISED and EXPANDED! The small coastal city of Skagway, Alaska is known for its stunning beauty, welcoming charm, and history thick with the Yukon gold rush of 1898. In this collection of twenty-first century short stories, Skagway is unveiled through the perspective of an author who lived, worked, and wintered over there, calling it home for five years.

Here you will find:

• the final moments of silver-tongued con-man Jefferson Randolph "Soapy" Smith brought to life in a well-researched historical tale
• true encounters with whales and other wonders of the natural world
• honest and humorous portraits of working life in summer cruise ship tourism
• the ghostly story of a "good time girl" trapped in tragedy
• speculative visions of Skagway's futures - including the long-awaited complete version of "The Battle of Haven Rift," first published in 2004
• the transformative magic of the Alaskan winter.

Both modern Alaskan literature and travelogue, Skagway Stories will fill you with wonder over this incredible spot on the map and leave you wishing you could experience it for yourself. 10% of net profits will be donated to The Skagway Traditional Council
