  • Gulf and Glacier: The Percivals in Alaska

    by Willis Boyd Allen ...
    It was a bright July morning, and its gladness was reflected in the faces of the throng that hurried to and fro, like an army of particularly busy ants, in the Boston and Lowell Depot. Way trains puffed in and out, discharging their loads of out-of-town people, who poured through the doorway in an almost continuous stream, carrying baskets of lunch, bunches of pond lilies and the small parcels ...

  • Christmas on Wheels

    by Willis Boyd Allen ...

  • In the Morning

    by Willis Boyd Allen ...
    A desert, treeless, boundless, The low sun round and red, Air stifling, moveless, soundless— And I alone with my dead. Her head lay on my shoulder, The crimson light ebbed fast; Her face grew paler, colder— The face of my own dead Past. Then darkness, black and frightful, Dropped from the eastern sky, With never a star, but a night-full Of horrors creeping by. I saw how fiercely glistened Their ... Read more

As the twilight, often hastened by the soft blur of falling snow, encroaches more and more upon the brief day, we gather closely about our firesides, and there, heart to heart, are wont to listen as at no other period of this prosaic nineteenth century life, to tales of olden time. More than ever are we drawn together at the season of our Saviour’s birth, when the ... Read more

  • Silver Rags

    by Willis Boyd Allen ...
    “HELP! Help!” It was a girl’s voice, clear and sharp with distress. The cry echoed over Loon Pond, and rang through the woods which surrounded its dimpled waters.

  • The North Pacific: A Story of the Russo-Japanese War

    by Willis Boyd Allen ...
    It was a clear, cool afternoon in early September, 1901.

Brown, golden, and scarlet leaves floated slowly downward to the ground; flocks of dark-winged birds drifted across the sky or flitted ... Read more
