Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Land of Tomorrow' is the memoir of William B. Stephenson about his time in Alaska. Stephenson spent some years there, first as manager of the Pacific Cold Storage Plant and afterward as United States Commissioner. "That the Voice of the North calls insistently to him who once has dwelt amidst its snows is neither myth nor legend. It is history. Like the Song of the Lorelei, having heard it once it rings in his ears forever. True, it is a strenuous game which Man plays against Nature in Alaska. There, as nowhere else on earth, he pays the price for what he gets."
