Among the books in the special

worth reading. , . , -
UNCLE SAM’S ATTIC—Mary Lee
Davis: Sub-titled “The Intimate
Story of Alaska”, it tells of eight
years spent in Alaska by the auth
or. She came to Alaska with her
mining engineer husband and
draws a picture of the Territory as
a land of great beauty, and tells of
it with deep affection and under
standing.
ALASKA NELLIE— written in
her own words, Alaska Nellie be
gins her story with her hard, lone
ly trek to Alaska from the mining
camps of Colorado and goes on to
describe her life which has become
famous throughout the Territory.
This book about the life of Mrs.
Nellie Neal Lawing (Alaska Nel
lie’s real name) is sheer adven
ture.
GLACIER PILOT—Beth Day: Of
special interest to Kodiak readers,
this tells the story of Bob Reeve,
Alaska’s first glacier pilot. It is at
the same time a story of how cour
age, incredible determination, a
strong sense of humor and an un
quenchable lust for life and ex
citement helped to convert a rug
ged frontier into the Alaska of
today.
ARCTIC TRADER— Charlie Mad
sen: Another book, just published,
of special interest to Kodiak read
ers, written by a man who knew
Kodiak and travelled Alaska.

book deals with the rich and lively
aboriginal culture of the North
west Coast Indians from Yakutat

aspect of the culture: social struc
tures and marriage customs;econ
omy and technology; religion, rit
uals and art; Wars and feuds.
