The Young Alaskans (1911) By Emerson Hough Three young boys living in Valdez, Alaska join a relative on a coastal mapping expedition around Kodiak Island with the revenue cutter (coast guard) "Bennington". Unfortunately, the fog is so thick they are swept out to sea and pushed by the current about 100 miles down the island. This is their story about how they lived off the land (with the help of some of the native Aleuts) for months and their efforts to be rescued. These juvenile adventure stories were written around the turn of the 20th Century. The form part of a series of books initially published between 1908 and 1922. The series includes: The Young Alaskans 1908; The Young Alaskans on the Trail 1911; The Young Alaskans in the Rockies 1913; The Young Alaskans in the Far North 1918; and The Young Alaskans on the Missouri.
