A Narrative Poetry Snapshot of the Alaska Gold Rush, Nome, December 3, 1903

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Alaska Gold Rush is the least studied era of United States history. If you pull up Alaska Gold Rush on Wikipedia, you will get the Klondike Gold Rush. The Klondike Gold Rush was centered around Dawson in Canada's Yukon Territory and lasted 14 months. The Alaska Gold Rush lasted 40 years, from 1880 to the end of the First World War, and covered an area one-fifth that of the Lower 48 states. Bonfire Saloon is not a work of narrative poetry. It is a book of history disguised as literature. The slang, words, terms, and expressions would be used in a saloon in 1903 in a gold rush. The names of the people are authentic, and the events in the book happened. Bonfire Saloon is a ground-level look at the events and personalities of 39 individuals on a single night in a Nome saloon.

Autorenporträt

Steven Levi is the author of more than 100 books, half of them on Alaska. His subject matter includes humor, scholarly history, and impossible crimes. An impossible crime is one where the detective has to figure out HOW the crime was committed before he can go after the perpetrators. For Alaska history, he specializes in scholarly research to make sure what he writes is based on the facts. For example, his book on Archie Ferguson is based on more than 20 years of research, almost 100 interviews, and the reading of every newspaper which covered Ferguson's colorful career. This work is significant for the historian because it catalogs the transition of a frontier community to a community as the 'fences of civilization' were being constructed.
