Excerpt from A Pacific Coast VacationThe phenomenon of the aurora was ex plained to us, but to our childish imagination Aurora ever remained a maiden whose wonder ful hair of rainbow tints lit up the northern sky.We talked of Aurora, we dreamed of Aurora, and now we are off to see the charming ice maiden of our childhood fancy.Off to Alaska. For years we have dreamed of it, for days and weeks we have breakfasted on Rocky Mountain fiora, lunched on icebergs and glaciers and dined on totem poles and In dian chiefs.Much of the charm of travel in any country comes of the glamour with which fable and legend have enshrouded its historic places.America is rapidly developing a legendary era. Travel up and down the shores of the historic Hudson and note her fabled places.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
