Edwards, William Seymour. [Into the Yukon.] [**]$1.50. Clarke, R.
In a series of papers which were originally home letters, the author tells of the travels of himself and wife thru the Canadian northwest, the gulfs and fjords of the North Pacific, the valley of the upper Yukon, the golden Klondike, and some parts of California and the Middle west. The book gives an apparently unbiased view of conditions on the Canadian Yukon in the summer of 1903. It is profusely illustrated with snap shot photographs.
“If it says nothing new, at least says it brightly and interestingly.” Wallace Rice.

“Mr. Edwards seems to be a clear-sighted observer, and his narration is straightforward and unpretentious. He appears to possess the knack of gathering and summarizing popular opinion without the exaggeration or superficiality usually characteristic of hasty news-gatherers. The most interesting portion of the book is naturally that relating to the Klondike region.”
