Stephenson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work reflects on the author's experiences and insights during his time as a United States Commissioner in Alaska, exploring the rich history, geography, and opportunities of the region. It highlights the allure and potential of Alaska for new settlers, particularly in the post-World War I era, when many were searching for a fresh start. The narrative is infused with a deep admiration for the Alaskan landscape and its promise for prosperity. At the start of the book, the author reminisces about his journey to take charge of the Pacific Cold Storage Company, setting the tone for a reflective exploration of his life in Alaska. He vividly describes the treacherous but awe-inspiring voyage across the ocean, marked by perilous encounters with ice floes and the beautiful sight of Mt. Shishaldin. The opening portion serves as a foundation for the themes of adventure, nature's dual beauty and danger, and the inevitable draw of the North—capturing the essence of what makes Alaska a land of opportunity and a calling to those seeking a new life.
