“I owe Alaska. It gave me everything I have.” Says Sidney Huntington, son of an Athapaskan mother and white trader/trapper father. Growing up on the Koyukuk River in Alaska’s harsh Interior, that “everything” spans 78 years of tragedies and adventures. When his mother died suddenly, 5-year-old Huntington protected and cared for his younger brother and sister during two weeks of isolation. Later, as a teenager, he plied the wilderness traplines with his father, nearly freezing to death several times. One spring, he watched an ice-filled breakup flood sweep his family’s cabin and belongings away. These and many other episodes are the compelling background for the story of a man who learned the lessons of a land and culture, lessons that enabled him to prosper as trapper, boat builder, and fisherman. This is more than one man's incredible tale of hardship and success in Alaska. It is also a tribute to the Athapaskan traditions and spiritual beliefs that enabled him and his ancestors to survive. His story, simply told, is a testament to the durability of Alaska's wild lands and to the strength of the people who inhabit them.

This is a true story of Ohioans & their Alaska Gold Prospecting in the Yukon, Koyukuk, Tanana & Chena River's Wilderness from their original, unpublished diaries, letters & photographs, told within the context of Alaskan heritage. Alaska is celebrating the Centennial of the Gold Rush & Ohio will be celebrating their Bicentennial; local historians will study their common history. Hardy individualists will listen to the men tell their challenges of high adventure & imagine themselves to be a part of one of the greatest gold rushes in history. Their photographs of the Athabaskan families & descriptions of the Esquimaux at Alaska are culturally significant. The Bibliography will be used by scholars for research & for families to enjoy by the fireplace in the wintertime. Although this has not been written about the Klondike Gold Rush in Canada, this is the first extensive diary of the Gold Rush in Alaska, on the Koyukuk & Chena Rivers in 1898-1900, prior to the discovery of gold & founding of Fairbanks in 1902.
