Excerpt from Alaskana: Or Alaska in Descriptive and Legendary Poems

I am not egotist enough to suppose that my book may do much toward attracting tourists or speculators to the land, the possession of which makes a truth of the statement that the sun never sets on the Republic of the United States. But if even a few are moved by it to visit its magnificent glaciers, its beautiful straits and channels, and the towns and vil lages so strangely different from our own Eastern Cities; if one or two are tempted to look into the gold-mines of Douglass Island, or to while a little time in sight of Sitka's beau tiful sound and harbor, I will feel thati have not written in vain.
