Gulf and Glacier; or, The Percivals in Alaska

The narrative follows the Percival family as they journey north across the continent to Alaska, using rail and sea conveyances. Episodes alternate between travel reportage and intimate moments: mountain hikes, glacier excursions, tense encounters with bears and other creatures, and visits to coastal towns and settlements. Scenes include mishaps, rescues, and lighter interludes with captive animals, while prose dwells on rugged landscapes, icefields, and maritime life. The account combines adventure storytelling with travel observation and family interactions to convey both the hazards and the marvels of voyaging through remote northern wilderness toward coastal communities.
