GAMBLE’S ALASKA DIARY

By: G. H. Gamble

as told by Sam Lindman

Friends, would you go to the Klondike to see if it was really there? G.H. Gamble did-and found a cold land that had no poke of gold. Here are excerpts from his diary about those early days of Alaska’s mining booms. At the break of a fresh new century people had great hopes of reaching the heights of luxury at a very fast pace. Here is the REST OF HIS story entitled:

GAMBLE’S ALASKA DIARY

By: G. H. Gamble

as told by Sam Lindman

Please read this. This is an overlooked story I found in an unusual and different magazine. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about Alaska Pioneers are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.

Here’s one of ‘em.

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.

This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.

Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive.

I hope you appreciate the effort.

Folks, sooner or later – Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are lying on some dealer’s dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, it’s worth all the time I spend. This is a tribute to the honor of our American Ancestors, Forefathers, Pioneers and our Native American Indians.
