'Operating on a shoestring, for this was the height of the Depression, we launched at Nenana two skiffs of our own making and unconventional design, like the most foolhardy party that ever embarked on the great river. For the next 80 days, over a distance of 1,600 miles, we fared through what was then truly a wilderness looking for ancient archaeological sites and recording our adventures and misadventures, our many disappointments and fewer lucky finds, and above all, our rewarding contacts with the Native peoples and white settlers we met along the way' - Frederica de Laguna.This robust and engaging travel narrative re-creates a remarkable adventure in the summer of 1935, when Frederica de Laguna, then in her late 20s, led a party of three other scientists down the rivers of the middle and lower Yukon valley, making a geological and archaeological reconnaissance. De Laguna has based her story on her field notes, journals, and letters home. She augments this first-hand account with excerpts from the reports of earlier explorers and data published after her trip. The result is a fascinating and informative cross-cut of historical events along the Yukon River and its tributaries." Travels Among the Dena" chronicles the expedition from its outfitting in Seattle and the trip by steamer and railway to Fairbanks and Nenana, through an 80-day journey on skiffs down the Tanana and Yukon rivers to Holy Cross near the coast, with side trips on the Koyukuk, Khotol, and Innoko rivers, before a one-day return flight to Fairbanks with pioneer bush pilot Noel Wien. Maps illustrate the route taken downriver, and the author's photographs capture images of the time. The resulting volume is both a delightful addition to the literature of travel adventure in Alaska and an important contribution to the discipline of anthropology. Frederica de Laguna is professor emerita of anthropology at Bryn Mawr College. Her many publications include "Tales of the Dena: Indian Stories from the Tanana, Koyukuk, and Yukon Rivers".

"In Just One Restless Rider", Carlos Schwantes invites read
... Read more
"In Just One Restless Rider", Carlos Schwantes invites readers to climb aboard for a ride they'll never forget. Growing up in Indiana, Schwantes was enthralled by trains and especially dreamt of one day riding the Pennsylvania Railroad's all-Pullman flagship Spirit of St. Louis. Now the 'dean of travel historians', Schwantes recalls his many trips along the legendary rails of America and traces the evolution of American passenger trains from the 1950s to the present. The recollections are illustrated with a host of the author's own photos that capture old steam engines, ultramodern European terminals, and even the staff of a luxury train in action. In 1993, Schwantes was invited to travel as a lecturer aboard the cruise train American Orient Express; he subsequently rode tens of thousands of miles on more than thirty separate train cruises. His narrative includes reflections on life aboard American and European trains and embraces the view from the car windows as he ponders the meaning of passing skylines. From boyhood memories of the Pennsy - 'the mightiest thing I knew' - to adult travels, Schwantes takes in the rich history and lore of rail travel. He muses over the legend of ghostly brake-man Joe Baldwin on the Wilmington and Manchester, decapitated in an accident and said to walk the nighttime tracks swinging his lantern in search of his missing head. He discovers the confusing variety in timetables issued by the numerous British lines following the privatization of British Rail and the adventure of sharing a coach with cigarette smugglers in Eastern Europe. And he hears the recollections of old railroad men like Bill Dixon, retired president of the famed Rock Island Line. By the time Schwantes actually rode on the Spirit of St. Louis in 1970, it had been down-sized to a single coach and left him a rider even more restless than those celebrated by Arlo Guthrie in the song 'City of New Orleans'. "Just One Restless Rider" is an enjoyable trip for those with the 'disappearing railroad blues' or anyone who has ever been captivated by the rhythm of the rails.

... Read more
This beautiful Howling Lone Wolf Garden Statue is hand-painted, quality designer resin and is suitable to withstand normal outdoor temperature extremes. Wolves are carnivorous canines that vary in size depending on their habitat. They travel in packs led by the Alpha pair. They hunt in packs too; this way they can take down bigger prey. A prey that stands its ground has a better chance for survival since wolves can chase their prey, reaching speeds of forty miles per hour with the help of their specialized paws and body structure. By marking their hunting territory, wolves are one step closer to ensuring their survival and their need for almost two tons of meat per year.

If you're reading this, you may be dreading an upcoming fli
... Read more
If you're reading this, you may be dreading an upcoming flight with your young child or thinking about taking one, but aren't sure you can handle it. I completely understand, but have no fear. Long haul flights were routine for us as we spent 7 years as expatriates. When my daughter was born in Hong Kong (7500 miles away from our families in California), we obviously had to fly her home for visits. I had anxiety about this for years before I was pregnant and I thought about canceling our first long haul flight trip multiple times. My newborn baby was fussier than most, had major acid reflux, I had to fly alone with her, and our journey was 24 hours door to door. We were just fine, in the end. With preparation, you will be, too. Since then, I’ve flown long haul and domestically with my daughter more times than I can count. I now enjoy the adventure with her, but getting to this point was not without challenges. I bought tons of useless gear and spent countless hours scouring the Internet for information. The purpose of this ebook is to share details both large and small to help you get from departure to destination without hiccups. I share how I plan my flights from scheduling to seat assignments. Does your baby need a bassinet? There are a few things you need to know that isn't information usually found on airline websites. I include tips to get you, your child and all of your gear through security and to the airplane. Speaking of gear, specific products have been very helpful to us. I'll tell you why and where to buy some of it. The most pressing issue parents seem to have is how to keep kids entertained and fuss free on the plane. Specific things worked for us and I developed a strategy for quieting meltdowns. It can also be tough to get kids on long haul flights to sleep and keep them (and, therefore, you) from getting severe jet lag. We received jet lag advice from medical professionals that does work. My daughter is usually over her jet lag by the second day. What you bring in your carry-on is key. To avoid stress, it's important to organize and pack it well. I'll tell you everything I bring onboard and keep within arms reach on the plane. There is nothing worse than having something you need in a bag in the overhead compartment, when the seat belt sign is on. Remember, if you request bulkhead seats you will not be able to store a bag at your feet. Other topics include tips for diapering on the plane, in flight meals, flying first or business class, and more. You'll also be able to receive quick answers to questions via our ongoing discussion on Twitter via the #flyingwithkids hashtag. There is helpful information in this ebook, regardless of how long your flight is.
