 Literature
Virginia is producing at last a literature both indigenous to its soil and imbuied with a realism that may be said to capture the major portion of the truth about its people and its civilization.
The Reconstruction literature of Virginia, however, which endured well into the twentieth century, was characterized by a nostalgia for the past and a romantic idealism that evaded facts.
Literature sustained a loss in 18o8 when John Daly Burk, a gallant young Irishman, was killed in a duel ten years after his coming to Virginia.

 Alaska: Up against the wall   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
More than just a handsome face, Wickersham was a natural leader who left a lasting imprint on Alaska in all sorts of arenas: politics, history, literature, gold mining-even mountaineering.
Somehow, he found the time to compile two important references-A Bibliography of Alaskan Literature, 1724-1929 and the seven-volume Alaska Territory Law Reports-and write an engaging memoir of his Alaska life, Old Yukon: Tales, Trails and Trials.
In climbing circles, though, he is best known as leader of the first mountaineering expedition to 20,320-foot Mount McKinley, also known by the Athabascan name, Denali.
