Dedicated to Alaska’s Beautiful Daughter,
Miss Edna McFarland
Linked in my memory of those sea-girt shores wheresnow-crowned mountains tower like castles old; wherewild cataracts hurl their waters down rugged cliffs to thesea; where sea gulls mingle their cries with the rushingtorrents; where frost giants stride up and down theland; where the Aurora flames through the long winternights, will ever be the name of this gifted daughterof Alaska.
FOREWORD
If you ask what motive she who loved thesescenes had in essaying to portray them with penand camera, she would reply that like the Dukeof Buckingham, when visiting the scene whereAnna of Austria had whispered that she lovedhim, let fall a precious gem that another findingit, might be happy in that charméd spot wherehe himself had been.
