520 _a"With Sack and Stock in Alaska" by George Broke is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. This engaging account chronicles the author's adventurous journey from London to Alaska, detailing the challenges he and his companions face while preparing for an expedition to climb Mount St. Elias. Readers can expect a blend of exploration, natural beauty, and the camaraderie of those pursuing adventure in the uncharted wilderness. At the start of the book, the narrator reflects on receiving a telegram from a friend inviting him to join an expedition to Mount St. Elias, prompting his decision to embark on a journey filled with excitement and uncertainty. The narrative vividly describes the various modes of transportation taken, starting from playing golf at home to confronting the cold and foggy conditions of the Atlantic, and includes observations of the places visited along the way, such as Quebec and the beautiful harbor of Victoria. The opening sets the tone for the adventure, hinting at the camaraderie among the narrator and his companions as they prepare to navigate the Alaskan wilderness, eventually leading them to their goal of reaching the mountain.
