“In spite of the attraction of his subject the biography is to be read once and no more. One hesitates to think that General Callwell has missed the secret of Maude’s greatness. One searches the book in vain for a generalization, a fruitful idea.”

CAMERON, CHARLOTTE.[[2]] Cheechako in Alaska and Yukon. il $6 Stokes 917.98
Cheechako is Eskimo for tenderfoot, but this particular tenderfoot turns out to be a hardened traveler. After many other lands the far North beckoned this adventurous Englishwoman and she set out from Seattle in June to travel 2,200 miles on the Yukon to Alaska and back all in a summer season. She sings the praises of the wondrous riches of the country—for which she bespeaks a prosperous future—and of the hospitality of its people. Nome, which had lured her from childhood, was the real objective of the trip and of it the author gives a detailed account. The book is well illustrated.
