De qué trata este libro
What does it take to carry three boys, a dozen packhorses and a pile of flour across the Canadian Rockies in the spring flood? Emerson Hough sets that question at a muddy campfire near Wolf Creek, where Rob, John and Jesse first see the white line of the mountains.
The Young Alaskans in the Rockies is a boys' adventure story about friends who ran the Peace River in the previous book. They travel with their engineer friend Uncle Dick and their cheerful cook Moise, from near Edmonton over Yellowhead Pass and down the Columbia. You get a working trip as much as a plot, with pack ropes, bogs, grizzlies and old fur trade history.

The boys make camp on the old trail
The story opens at a camp near Wolf Creek, a hundred and thirty miles west of Edmonton. Jesse hauls wood, John fetches water, and Rob studies the map the three of them drew.
The trail beneath their feet is old. Fur traders wore it deep, and the Indians walked it before them. Uncle Dick arrives that evening in a wide white hat, a tall, lean engineer who has surveyed this ground for a railroad. Moise follows, singing, with the extra horses.
Uncle Dick times the supper chores with his watch. He wants twenty-five miles a day, so camp work must be quick. He also teaches temper. Brush the mosquitoes off gently, because a man who gets worked up only wears himself out.
A long journey is won by quick, calm habits at the start and end of every day.
That’s 1 of 11 key points.

Questions about Los jóvenes alaskanos en las Montañas Rocosas
What is The Young Alaskans in the Rockies about?
Three boys from Valdez, Alaska, travel with the engineer Uncle Dick and the cook Moise across the Canadian Rockies by pack train. They then go down the Canoe River and the Columbia by boat, hunting and fishing along the way.
Who are Rob, John and Jesse?
They are three friends from Valdez. Rob is the oldest and quiet, John is practical and always hungry, and Jesse is the youngest and curious. They made earlier wilderness trips together, including the Peace River trip.
Is The Young Alaskans in the Rockies a true story?
It is fiction by Emerson Hough, who died in 1923, but it uses real places such as Yellowhead Pass, Tête Jaune Cache and the Big Bend of the Columbia, along with real fur trade and railroad history.
Do I need to read the earlier Young Alaskans books first?
No. The story stands on its own, and Uncle Dick and the boys explain who they are as they go. A few remarks mention the earlier Peace River trip, but each point is easy to follow.
What is Yellowhead Pass and why does it matter in the book?
It is a low pass across the Rockies, and the boys cross it at a wide green meadow. Uncle Dick uses it to tell the history of traders and explorers, and to explain why a railroad will soon follow.
