Sobre este artículo
Los Angeles: The Ward Ritchie Press, 1937. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Green cloth hardcover with yellow print to front cover and spine, still bright. Tiny nick to edge of spine, some fading to covers, otherwise clean. Tightly bound. Former owner's name/address in ink on the front flyleaf, and below an ex-librirs plate with hand written name "Connie Hopkin" dated July 8, 1942; otherwise the book is unmarked with clean pages. xiii , 124 pages, plates, portraits, plus frontispiece photo of the subject George Buchanan -- who was "a successful businessman, a coal merchant in Detroit. During the Depression he decided to help boys to get out of town and see Alaska. Every summer from 1923 through the Depression, Mr. Buchanan and 50 or 60 boys journeyed across Canada to Vancouver, sailed up the coast to Skagway, spent several weeks touring Alaska, climbing glaciers, panning for gold. Part of the deal was that their parents would donate 1/3 of the money ($81), George would donate 1/3 of the money and the boy would work selling items such as kitchen implements door to door to raise the remaining 1/3."
