Sophomoric Collection Of The Unexplained
This is a collection of edited snippets from 19th century and early 20th century newspapers out of the Yukon and Alaska, setting forth unsubstantiated stories of lost mines, mysterious tribes, living mammoths,hidden valleys, and other various anomalies from those regions.The author makes no attempt to comment on the veracity of any of the stories, some of which have been commented upon in more detail in other more comprehensive books dealing with similar controversial or unexplained phenomena and the like.It's a quick and mildly entertaining read, but those who require more details and substance to such intriguing mysteries should look elsewhere. ...
