Adventures in Alaska and Along the Trail by Wendell Endicott

This book is a collection of stories focusing on the author's explorations of Alaska and other adventuresome places in North America (my favorite was the Pendleton Roundup in Oregon). Some of the book is great early twentieth century nature/adventure writing, almost like one was sitting around a campfire exchanging stories. But other parts are hunting stories, which were distracting and not what I wanted to get out of the book. Several neat old photographs are included.
