Second Printing "]
For Unique Book
Of Alaskan V erse
“Alaska Thru the Rhymes of a
Construction Stiff” is back on the
market again! It's the best of its
kind ever produced and is now in
its second printing.
Verse is by William E. Johnson,
better known throughout the North
land as Hi Blade Bill, heavy equip
ment man. who followed construc
tion work from the bleak Aleutian?
to the sub-zero temperatures of the
Arctic. Hi-Blade writes in the lan
guage of the Northern Outlands.
raw. yet expressing tender and
beautiful thoughts as well as prac
tical philosophy. (We know him
well. What a guy!)
True to life narrative inserts are
written by good, old J. Patricic
O’Neal, and the many original pen
and ink drawings are by another
great guy, Fred Newman, who
brings back memories of long-gone
gayer days with his gifted pen.
These three are a trio difficult to
beat and the book of 72 pages for
$2.50 rightly takes its place at the
top of the list in one’s Alaskana
library.
Hi Blade says: “Just send your
money to Box 5, Auburn, Washing
ton, and she’s yours."
