СОДЕРЖАНИЕ: The two volumes entitled «Gulf and Glacier», by Allen Willis Boyd stand for a very wide field of experience cultivated on so immense a place as Alaska was. This vast territory remained, for long years past, a subject only commensurate with the wildest dreams. Certainly it was a destination sometimes visited, and even more often dreamed of by Alaskan hunters and trapper men, but 'white settlers' who could afford to travel there were scarce, and perhaps interspersed with reports of magic animals and yet more stories of the mysteries of these life-giving wildernesses, where early German Settlers had originated a remarkable monitoring and virtually, legend and tackle on man and his environment. Allen Willis Boyd has embodied this vast and varied earth most capably in the form of his unparalleled novel, spanning the entirety of 250 pages of engrossing pages, spelling out far reaching and all encompassing tales of two families, summarily the Percivals, in a short time period of a quarter century into their lives in summery Alaskan settings. Volume I begins in 1881 and ends in 1904, while Volume II bursts into life in 1929, fading downwards into the depths of memory, but spreading up the centuries into possible forever existence. To truly and exhaustively comprehend the backbone supporting this novel is to literally take in the very constellations found in that frontier sublime under sunlight, creation through darkness: of Alaskans and Anzacs both.
