Description

Northern Narratives is once again taking you back to Juneau, Alaska, the gateway to the Alaskan gold rush, in Book #2 of the series, Tall Tales of Alaska Juneau, AK: A Quaint Alaska Town with a Gold Mining Problem.

In this set of stories, you’ll be whisked away to the capital of Alaska when it was still an American territory. And during your stay, you’ll witness the beginnings of Juneau, before all the tourists, and even before all of the gold. You’ll get to see how the passage of time has transformed the Alaskan town’s landscape, and be introduced to the ones who changed it. Individuals like Joe Juneau, the man the town is named after; Chief Kawa.ée, the Native Alaskan who was the first to find any gold; and Geoff and Marcy, the two Juneauites that put Alaskan beer on the map. Not to mention, you’ll even get to find out who it is that haunts the Alaskan Hotel!

Just like Northern Narratives #1, it won’t matter if you’re a history buff hungry to uncover the secrets of Alaska or just an intrepid explorer looking to learn more about the prettiest capital city in the union, Tall Tales of Alaska Juneau, AK will not disappoint. The excitement and intrigue will have you eagerly awaiting the series’ next installment!
