Gold Hunting in Alaska
Joseph Grinnell
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
In 1898, naturalist, Joseph Grinnell joins a company of twenty men bound for Kotzebue Sound, Alaska, from California aboard the schooner Penelope. With the trained eye of a scientist and with a flair for prose and poetry, he documents the adventures of this group of gold hunters before they return a year and a half later. This account gives valuable insights into the Alaskan culture of that time and the hardships of those searching for the fortunes of gold. - Summary by Larry Wilson (7 hr 20 min)

Reviews
Avid listener
Sorry to say, but Betty B, chapter 1 has no personality to her voice, monotone and dreary. The excitement of this adventure is lost in her reading.
