Adventurers, crooks and lawmen flooded into Alaska following the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. Towns like Nome, Fairbanks and Valdez blossomed on the tundra and soon filled with merchants, madams, miners and more. In this second book of the Aunt Phils Trunk series, readers are taken on a journey of discovery when prospectors stumbled across gold in the Iditarod, men summited the mighty mountain called Denali, and the people of Kodiak survived the largest volcanic eruption in North American history. Readers from ages 9 to 99 will love this collection of stories and more than 300 historical photographs that highlight Alaska s colorful past from 1900 to 1912.

About the Author

Third-generation Alaskan Laurel Downing Bill is an award-winning author and speaker who specializes in sharing stories from Alaska's colorful past. Her entertaining nonfiction series titled Aunt Phils Trunk developed after she inherited her Alaska historian aunt Phyllis Downing Carlson's research and articles about the Last Frontier. Laurel earned a degree in journalism with a minor in history (at age 52) to gain the literary tools needed to turn her aunt's body of work into the series that now is widely sold at fine bookstores and gift shops across Alaska. She currently lives in Anchorage and enjoys reading, golf and spoiling her six grandchildren.
