"Alaska, the Great Country" by Ella Higginson is a descriptive travelogue written in the early 20th century. The book explores the stunning landscapes and untouched beauty of Alaska, detailing both its historical significance and its enchantment as a travel destination. Higginson’s writing encapsulates the allure of Alaska’s remote regions, offering readers a glimpse into the natural majesty that draws countless visitors each year. The opening of the work sets the stage for an immersive journey into Alaska, emphasizing that the true splendor of the region extends far beyond the typical tourist routes. Higginson describes the annual influx of travelers to places like Juneau and Sitka, but argues that these brief visits fail to convey the country's essence. Instead, she points to the breathtaking sights found west of Sitka, where mountains rise dramatically from the sea and vibrant natural beauty enchants those who venture further into the wild. Through lush imagery and poetic language, the author invites readers to appreciate Alaska not just as a destination, but as a land steeped in history and wonder that leaves a lasting impression on all who experience its charm.
