Wade, Nellie Martin, "Through Interior Alaska on Horseback and the Scenic Coast Route" Manuscript, 1907-1928
HAS ONLINE CONTENT
Consists of a notebook containing the original handwritten draft of Nellie Martin Wade's unpublished book, "Through Interior Alaska on Horseback and the Scenic Coast Route." Claiming on her manuscript's title page that she was the "first woman to explore the Great Shushitna Valley and the Mt. McKinley Range," Wade documents her own travels in the Alaska wilderness and provides her perspective on the region's history, the Aleut people and other indigenous Alaskans, the landscape, Klondike Gold Rush towns and mining operations, and settler industries. The manuscript, which spans 200 pages, tells the story of Wade and her traveling party's journey from Puget Sound to Cook's Inlet on the steamer Portland, and their trips on smaller steamers traveling up the Sasut Na' (Susitna) and Yentna Rivers through interior Alaska towards Denali (which Wade refers to as Mount McKinley). The manuscript includes corrections, instructions for photograph placement and typography, as well as a platinum photograph of the author. While the manuscript dates from 1907, the portrait of Wade is from 1928 and is inscribed "To my dear Girl from Aunt Nell." The introduction credits a Mr. Nagley and James Ballaine of the Seward Chamber of Commerce for photographs (not present) to be included in the book.
