Excerpt from Peerless Alaska Our Cache Near the Pole To The Public: As the founder of American churches, schools and civil government in Alaska, and for thirty-one years an active worker in its development, I take pleasure in calling public attention to the excellence, reliability and completeness of this book of Mr. Hallock, so aptly indicated by its sub-title as "Our Cache Near the Pole." Alaska is a country of which the half has not been told or even surmised. To write so that the reader can see and in some measure comprehend what it is like requires an author of special gift, and this Mr. Hallock has. As a naturalist and sportsman, he has been trained to close observation. As a scientist, he defines, adapts and applies. As an editor for fifty-five years in and out, he has had long practice in the art of putting things. He appeals irresistibly to one's sense of appreciation. Furthermore, as the author of half a dozen popular books on natural history and sport, and a purveyor for many years to lovers of outdoor life through the "Forest and Stream," which he founded, he knows how to diagnose the public mind and prescribe just what it wants and needs to know. And the results of all this professional training and experience and investigation are admirably and opportunely presented in this last work of his, which same guarantees to the reader pleasure, accuracy and instruction.
