Cruise Alaska aboard the Steamer Northwestern

Discover what it was like to travel to Alaska in the early 1900s.

These are the stories told by America's writers and editors as they visited Alaska's cities, glaciers, mines and farmlands at the end of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition of 1909.

"There is a subtle illusive, intangible something that grips the heart of the visitor to Alaska."

The delightful story, told in the voice of turn-of-the-century America and full of humor as well as poignant beauty, has been compiled and comes to life with vintage photographs, newspaper clippings, and an appendix of articles written by others who shared the grand adventure.

What readers are saying:

  • I was captivated from the moment I picked up this story. The writing style and voice is a delightful step back into early 1900s America, and the author has a fascinating blend of wit and poetic description as she writes about her experience travelling to Alaska. She captures the beauty and grandeur of Alaska so that I could almost picture in my mind's eye what she was describing. - W.S., Amazon Reviewer
  • Constance Taylor was given a charming, witty description of a 1909 Alaska cruise abord the Steamer Northwestern. In publishing that writing, she brought the travelogue vividly to life by adding about 50 photographs of the scenery and towns mentioned. - Order S, Amazon Reviewer
