Alaska Studies
"We will not try to describe the mingled emotions with which we watched them disappear. These mountains, and rivers, and glaciers, and lakes, the hardships and perils, the pleasures and pain, the hopes, anxieties, ambitions, and disappointments which had been crowded so thickly into the past months, were all among the things that were past, but not all among the things to be left behind. Many, aye, the most of them, were to come back with us to the States as very lively memories, to go with us all the future years, to sometimes be lived on in reminiscences and story, or in dreams of the night."
