註釋
At the age of nineteen, Pete Haslam emigrated to America in 1895, and never saw his Laois family again. He made a small fortune in the Klondike Gold Rush, and then became one of the Pioneers who founded modern Alaska, where he spent a fascinating life as a gold miner, in the last frontier of Wiseman, seventy five miles north of the Arctic Circle. For generations, none of his family knew anything about Pete's life, except that Bob Marshall met him in 1930, while researching for a book on the wilderness of unexplored northern Alaska. Now, for the first time ever, his grand-nephew, Joe, presents this factual account of Pete's life, while contrasting it with the lives of the brothers and sister he left behind in Ireland.
