An Alaskan Adventure – a Story of Finding Fold in the Far North—189401903
An Alaskan Adventure by Frederick James Currier is an adventure story about one man’s quest for gold. Written by Frederick Currier, a Saratoga pioneer, it was edited by his daughter, Amy June Jorgensen and published in 2018. The story traces the adventure beginning in 1894 when Currier decided to detour from a trip to Oregon to buy an apple ranch to go to Alaska when he met two miners who convinced him to come along. The dream of gold nuggets was big as yellow pumpkins was a vision he couldn’t resist. The talk will be given by Randy Zamke who spearheaded the publication of the book.

Zamke is a member of the Alaska Trappers Association and is on their board of directors. He is affiliated with the University of Alaska and has written several books on Alaska.

The talk will be at 1:30 in the Saratoga Library Community Room. The library is located a 13650 Saratoga Avenue in Saratoga, CA. Admission is free. The event is sponsored by the Saratoga Historical Foundation. Contact: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.saratogahistory.com/">www.saratogahistory.com</a> or 408-867-4311
