The article presents information about the book "Alaska Man's Luck," by Hjalmar Rutzebeck. One could regard this book merely as a pleasant and true story of adventure by a present-day pioneer. He meets the girl of his choice, not, as in the old stories, in the church sociable, but in the rooms of the Young People's Socialist League. Determined to get to Alaska in order to make his stake, lie beats his way up the coast from California, riding on the rods and dodging the railroad detectives, and finally slaving for a month in a lumber camp. Once in Alaska, he is precipitated into a continual round of adventures, experiences of the sort for which the city man's substitute is the roller-coaster or the maze of the amusement park.
