Description
Cruise Alaska aboard the Steamer Northwestern and discover what it was like to travel to Alaska in the early 1900s.
“There is a subtle illusive, intangible something that grips the heart of the visitor to Alaska.”
Bertha Adele Penny’s delightful story of her journey to Alaska was first shared with her friends and family a century ago. Told in the voice of turn-of-the-century America and full of humor as well as poignant beauty, she shared her personal experience aboard the Steamer Northwestern. She traveled with a group of 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.
Her original story was shared decades later with Constance Taylor in 1977, but it remained in a box of treasures for 42 years. When Constance rediscovered it in 2019, she knew it needed to be published. Bertha’s account of the 1909 trip comes to life with vintage photographs, newspaper clippings, and an appendix of articles written by others who shared the grand adventure.
