A Riveting Alaska Gold Rush Saga: The Copper River Country 1898 "This is no staid diary. There are forest fires, floods, gunplay, and many other death-defying episodes." ~ Reviewer, Mark McLaughlin HAZELET'S JOURNAL is a true 1898 Gold Rush story that gives us insight into the character of those who went before us, a sense of passion, loyalty, and resilience that was so much a part of the great American spirit that our country was founded upon. It's told in the journalist's original voice, captured for generations to come. This TRAVEL EDITION is designed in a paperback format, lightweight to fit inside a backpack to read (no wifi required) on the trail as the traveler makes his or her way to Valdez. It contains the same journal entries and stories contained in the hardcover version published in 2012, however with more travelogue content of the current sights and landscape as one makes their way (300 miles) along the Richardson Highway from Anchorage into the town of Valdez, the staging site of the old 1898 pioneer tent city and trailhead of the Alaska Gold Fields. A rich history of the last true American frontier to experience. The old Copper Center and pioneer mail hub at the confluence of the Copper and Klutina Rivers. Kennecott Copper mines at McCarthy, Keystone Canyon with its beautiful waterfalls and the scene of the famous "shootout" between warring railway companies in 1907, and much much more for the curious travelers to experience as they make their way into the town of Valdez. Discover the magic!
