value not only to the literature of travel, but to that of American
commercial and political development.... Should be in the hands of
every person interested either in fact or in prospect in Alaska and
the Klondike.”—_Brooklyn Standard-Union._
“For the first time the new gold fields of the North have been dealt
with by a scientific man capable of weighing evidence.”—_Chicago
Evening Post._
“Presents for the first time a plain, straightforward story of what he
saw, how he saw it, the men and things he met, what the hardships were
and how he overcame them. The book is fully illustrated. It is replete
with valuable hints and instruction, and students of the gold problem
in Alaska ought to appreciate it. The entire subject has been
developed with extreme care and great thoroughness.”—_Boston Globe._
“It is among the practical books, everywhere bearing evidence of its
reliability. The story of the journey is told with enough of personal
incidents and accidents of travel to make every page interesting to
the general reader, and it will be found of practical value to those
intending to make the hard journey.”—_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
“Mr. Heilprin observed Dawson with the eyes of a student of great
scientific attainments, who had little in common with the crowd of
elemental and uncouth men gathered there, or with their life; and he
noted many things which they themselves probably accepted as matters
of course, besides writing an important scientific treatise.”—_Boston
Herald._
“It is noticeably fair-minded in its presentation of facts—the work of
a clear-minded and well-trained observer.”—_New York Outlook._
“The first adequate presentation of the Klondike gold problem made by
a geologist.”—_New York Mail and Express._
