Alaskaland: A Curious Contradiction is a book written by Isabel Ambler Gilman and published in 1914. The book is a travelogue that explores the author’s experiences and observations during her trip to Alaska. Gilman’s writing style is descriptive and engaging, and she provides vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of Alaska, as well as the unique cultural and social aspects of the region. She covers a range of topics, including the history of Alaska, the lives of the native people, the impact of the gold rush, and the challenges faced by those living in such a remote and harsh environment. Throughout the book, Gilman highlights the contradictions she observes in Alaska, such as the contrast between the beauty of the landscape and the harshness of the climate, or the tension between the traditional way of life of the native people and the influence of Western civilization. Overall, Alaskaland: A Curious Contradiction is a fascinating and insightful account of Alaska in the early 20th century, and provides readers with a unique perspective on the region’s history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
