N2  - "Gold Hunting in Alaska" by Joseph Grinnell is a narrative nonfiction work written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the true experiences of a group of gold-hunters who embark on a journey to Alaska during the gold rush of the late 1800s. The narrative provides insight into the lives of the men in the expedition, their hopes for gold, and the challenges they face in the harsh Arctic wilderness.  The opening of the book introduces us to a party of twenty men, all driven by the allure of gold as they set sail for Kotzebue Sound in Alaska. Among the crew are colorful characters, including an undertaker-turned-miner and a doctor, who add depth to the group dynamic. The captain's humorous disposition contrasts with the serious nature of their quest, as they journey on the ship "Penelope," facing storms and sea sickness while sharing meals and camaraderie. The diary-like entries reveal both the hardships and the lighter moments of their travels, setting the stage for their adventures in search of fortune in an unforgiving territory.
