This is the June 1982 First Edition and Sixth Printing. This book is A Sunset Pictorial with black and white and many color photographs. Contents: A Beckoning Frontier, The Southeast's Panhandle, The Vast Interior. The Southcentral Region, The Southwestern Corner, Eskimo Alaska, and Selected Readings. Alaska has wilderness, wildlife, fishing, glaciers, tundra. It has old Russian churches, Eskimo villages, fiords, totem poles, permafrost, northern lights, and midnight sun. It is so vast that it is difficult to comprehend its size. The big states of Texas, California, and Montana combined would fit easily in its 586,400 square miles. If a map of Alaska were superimposed on a map of the rest of the United States mainland, it would blanket the central part of the country from the Canadian border to Arkansas and from Indiana to Colorado. Its southeastern corner would reach to the Atlantic Coast, and its Aleutian Islands would extend beyond the Pacific Coast. It is not surprising that in so huge an area there are regions that differ distinctly-in climate, scenery, people, topography, and economy. Alaska divides naturally into six such regions: Southeastern Alaska, often referred to as "the Panhandle"; the Interior, bounded by the Alaska Range on the south and the Brooks Range on the north; the Southcentral region, rimming the Gulf of Alaska south of the Alaska Range; Southwestern Alaska, extending from the Alaska Peninsula to the tip of the Aleutian Islands; the Western coastal area, bordering the Bering Sea; and the Arctic, above the Arctic Circle. Southeastern Alaska is a tourist's paradise, made up of several large islands, hundreds of smaller ones, and a thin strip of rugged mainland bordering Canada. Jagged mountains rise from picturesque fiords along the protected waterway called the Inside Passage, and glaciers reach to the water's edge. Most of the Southeast is part of Tongass National Forest. Massive stands of spruce, hemlock, and cedar cover the islands and much of the mainland. Juneau, Alaska's capital, hugs the mountains near the northern end of the waterway. Most of the other Panhandle towns are engaged in fishing and lumbering activities. . First Edition Stated. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. Illus. by Cole.

Softcover. Quarto. [ii], 46 pages. New. Well illustrated in color and black and white. The only detailed account of Abraham Lincoln's passage through Annapolis on his way to and from the Hampton Roads Conference in early February, 1865. <br /> <br /> The extensive research for this project turned up interesting but forgotten aspects of local and national history. For example, the Maryland Legislature was debating ratification of the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery on the very morning that President Lincoln quietly walked past the State House, unbeknownst to the legislators inside. The amendment had passed Congress two days earlier on January 31st, and had been hand-delivered to the Maryland Legislature on February 1st. <br /> <br /> Research also rediscovered both the proper location of the train depot in 1865 as well as the route of the military railroad tracks hastily laid through town by General Benjamin Butler in April of 1861, over which passed the first troops to reach and reinforce Washington in those tense early days of the war.<br /> <br /> Well illustrated with historic photographs, documents, prints, and maps., Maryland State Archives, 2009, 6, Menlo Park, California: Lane Publishing Co., 1982.
