Sanders I had seen a reference to Rex Beach on a documentary I watched about Alaska so found some of his work here at Amazon. The book was a quick read, held my interest, and I learned a bit about the character of Alaska in the early 1900s. The writing is a little old fashioned which only leant to its charm.

I went to Alaska in the mid 1990's to take an examination. After the examination a friend and I who went with me enjoyed eleven different flights that took us from Anchorage to Kotzebue, Nome, south to Ketchikan and Juneau. In Anchorage there was a lady that was hired by the city to water the streets' hanging flower baskets. We visited the glaciers and saw the mountain goats on the mountain side. I thought about this visit while reading this excellent book by Rex E. Beach who has written so elaborate of the Silver Horde. He takes his time to describe the scenes and people so elegantly that I believe they actually exist, and I am able to visulalize them physically and mentally. He breathes life into the characters and not only describe them physically but also psychologically.I remember Kotzebue with the people showing us their museum with stuffed animals and clothes made from fur. There was a contest for children and a little girl won and the prize was to wear this elaborate fur coat for one year that was made form several different animals for one year. The coat was very old but it looked brand new, it was sewed with whale bone needles.Our next stop was in Nome and we stood on the shores looking for gold, of course we did not find any. We left the shores and was taken to a house where a lady greeted us with hot cider, I will never forget the graciousness of this lady on that cold day. In this house we were able to pan for gold. Next we visited Ketchikan; down below the hotel was a stream in the midst of town, salmons were on their journey to the spawning area, in fresh water their colors change to a light silvery color. There were thousands of these silver fish and they move very fast, not paying any attention to anything except making it to their spawining areas.There was a foolish young man that was going to catch a salmon but to his dismay the fish was so strong and fast that he was pulled into the stream losing his fishing gear. He left the stream wet all over and cussing. Juneau was our last stop and we flew over Canada and back to our home state.Mr. Beach decribes the area and people so well that the reader is lost in the book. The book requires the reader to advance very slow in order to enjoy every word, adjectives and similes are used abundantly in order that the reader is carried into his world. The plot starts off with action, involving two men racing through the snow where they have the misforture to end up breaking through the ice, They are rescued by a lady, and regain the use of their sled and try to find lodging. They end up with one misfortune after another. The story ends with the silver horde (salmons) coming into their traps and eventually all is well. The excitement is never ending in this book.The book is well written and tells a very decriptive story. I am sure that the author spent many hours writing the Silver Horde.SPRNewman's Own Organics Adult Dog Food Formula, 12.5-Pound BagSuncast Elevated Feeding Tray, LargeFancy Feast Gourmet Cat Food, Grilled Seafood Variety Pack, 3-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24)Bayer Advantage II Orange 4-Month Flea Control for Cats 5-9 lbs.

The Silver Hoard By Kindle Customer A great tale of adventure in the wilds of Alaska, a lot of information on salmon and the salmon industry, a story of the struggle for success by one man against others in the salmon trade, lots of detail on the hardship of life in Alaska with great characters scenes, a book that you will greatly enjoy.
