Présentation de l'éditeur

Short stories and hundreds of historical photographs bring Alaska's history alive during the 1900-1912 time frame. This book features gold rushes to Nome, Fairbanks and the Iditarod regions of the Last Frontier. It also shares stories from early law and order years, blazing the Iditarod Trail and how Alaska became a territory of the United States.

These stories and more fill the pages of Aunt Phil's Trunk Volume Two. This series is suitable for ages 9 to 99.
