Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Nome and Seward Peninsula: History, Description, Biographies and Stories
I never was a success as a money getter, but as I grow older I realize more fully the truth and wisdom of the old Jew's advice to his son: Young man, get money. My attempt to follow this advice did not leave me adequate time to rewrite and edit all of the material in this volume, and a part of the matter does not please me. But what ever demerit the book may have from a writer's point of view, it is up to the book-maker's standard. I did not stint in the selection of paper. And the engraver, printer, pressman and binder have done their work well. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
