Vllg.Com Type Supply Balto TYPE SUPPLY Balto vllg.com Balto TYPE SUPPLY Balto ABOUT vllg.com I have a longstanding passion for the classic American Gothic typeface style. The style dates back over a century, and like so many things American, its origins can be traced across the ocean and through generations. There have been numerous interpretations of the style, but, frankly, none of them capture the unpretentious, sturdy and versatile soul that I admire so much. I have been working on capturing these attributes in my own version of the style for as long as I have been drawing typefaces. TYPE SUPPLY Balto ABOUT vllg.com In Balto, I have focused on emphasizing the base ideas of the style rather than particular visual attributes, quirks or artifacts of bygone type technologies. This allowed me to rethink many common assumptions about the shapes of the letterforms and the result is a clean, modern typeface that honors the noble history of the American Gothic.

    VITAL RECORDS FROM ALASKA DAILY EMPIRE 1921-1925 JUNEAU, ALASKA VOLUME II Compiled by Betty J. Miller Copyright May 1996 All Rights Reserved Betty J. Miller 2551 Vista Drive #C-201 Juneau, Alaska 99801 FOREWORD Another two years out of my busy life and Volume II is completed! This reference book covers vital statistical records abstracted from the Juneau Alaska Daily Empire from 1921 through 1925. The response and sales of Volume I (1916-1920) certainly was an encouragement for me to continue the research. I suspect there will be a Volume III sometime in the future. Keep in mind when perusing the alphabetical index that the names appearing there are exactly the way they were printed in the newspaper, i.e. some were incorrectly spelled. Check the variations of spellings for surnames. I've cross-referenced where I detected misspellings. It helps to have lived in Juneau all my life and have an awareness of some of these long-time Juneau family names. Copies of these newspaper articles referenced in this book can be made at the Alaska State Library at [email protected] or 907-465-2920 in Juneau. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wouldn't be able to undertake these projects without the cooperation of the Alaska State Library allowing me to take microfilm from their library for weeks at a time. Once again the Family History Center at the LDS Church allowed me to use their library and microfilm reader whenever I needed—which was a couple hours every day. My wonderful husband helped me proofread while we were on vacation this winter.

  • Iditarod National Historic Trail I Historic Overview — Robert King
    Iditarod National Historic Trail i Historic Overview — Robert King Introduction: Today’s Iditarod Trail, a symbol of frontier travel and once an important artery of Alaska’s winter commerce, served a string of mining camps, trading posts, and other settlements founded between 1880 and 1920, during Alaska’s Gold Rush Era. Alaska’s gold rushes were an extension of the American mining frontier that dates from colonial America and moved west to California with the gold discovery there in 1848. In each new territory, gold strikes had caused a surge in population, the establishment of a territorial government, and the development of a transportation system linking the goldfields with the rest of the nation. Alaska, too, followed through these same general stages. With the increase in gold production particularly in the later 1890s and early 1900s, the non-Native population boomed from 430 people in 1880 to some 36,400 in 1910. In 1912, President Taft signed the act creating the Territory of Alaska. At that time, the region’s 1 Iditarod National Historic Trail: Historic Overview transportation systems included a mixture of steamship and steamboat lines, railroads, wagon roads, and various cross-country trail including ones designed principally for winter time dogsled travel. Of the latter, the longest ran from Seward to Nome, and came to be called the Iditarod Trail. The Iditarod Trail today: The Iditarod trail, first commonly referred to as the Seward to Nome trail, was developed starting in 1908 in response to gold rush era needs. While marked off by an official government survey, in many places it followed preexisting Native trails of the Tanaina and Ingalik Indians in the Interior of Alaska.

  • And the Legacy of the Serum Run
    Baltoand the Legacy of the Serum Run 1 WADE OVAL DRIVE, UNIVERSITY CIRCLE CLEVELAND, OHIO 44106 216.231.4600 800.317.9155 WWW.CMNH.ORG Nome, Alaska, appeared on the map during one of the world’s great gold rushes at the end of the 19th century. Located on the Seward Peninsula, the town’s population had swelled to 20,000 by 1900 after gold was discovered on beaches along the Bering Sea. By 1925, however, much of the gold was gone and scarcely 1,400 people were left in the remote northern outpost. Nome was icebound seven months of the year and the nearest railroad was more than 650 miles away, in the town of Nenana. The radio telegraph was the most reliable means by which Nome could communicate with the rest of the world during the winter. Since Alaska was a U.S. territory, the government also maintained a route over which relays of dog teams carried mail from Anchorage to Nome. A one- way trip along this path, called the Iditarod Trail, took about a month. The “mushers” who traversed the trail were the best in Alaska.

Name of creator(s): Steve McCutcheon, P.S. Hunt, Sydney Laurence, Lomen Brothers, Don C. Knudsen, Dolores Roguszka, Phyllis Mithassel, Alyeska Pipeline Services Co., Frank Flavin, Jim Cacia, Randy Smith, Don Horter Administrative/Biographical History: Stephen Douglas McCutcheon was born in the small town of Cordova, AK, in 1911, just three years after the first city lots were sold at auction. In 1915, the family relocated to Anchorage, which was then just a tent city thrown up to house workers on the Alaska Railroad. McCutcheon began taking photographs as a young boy, but it wasn’t until he found himself in the small town of Curry, AK, working as a night roundhouse foreman for the railroad that he set out to teach himself the art and science of photography. As a Deputy U.S. Marshall in Valdez in 1940-1941, McCutcheon honed his skills as an evidential photographer; as assistant commissioner in the state’s new Dept. of Labor, McCutcheon documented the cannery industry in Unalaska. From 1942 to 1944, he worked as district manager for the federal Office of Price Administration in Fairbanks, taking photographs of trading stations, communities and residents of northern Alaska; he sent an album of these photos to Washington, D.C., “to show them,” he said, “that things that applied in the South 48 didn’t necessarily apply to Alaska.” 1 1 Emanuel, Richard P.

  • The Golden Collar
    The Golden Collar By Shadow-d-husky Steele sat alone in an alley, sulking and feeling sorry for himself. Ever since the dogs found out about his deeds during the serum run, he had been branded an outcast. He had no friends, save Shadow. Shadow was a purebred black and white husky, like Steele, who had moved up in the ranks to become lead dog of one of the sled teams in Nome. Shadow had found Steele sad and alone in the gold dredger (boiler room), where the other dogs left him. He tried to help Steele. "It takes a real dog to have the backbone to admit their mistakes,” Steele remembered Shadow saying. “Is this the legacy you wish to leave of yourself; ‘Steele, the dog who almost sabotaged the serum run and caused the death of half the population of Nome?’ Why don’t you quit feeling sorry for yourself and apologize. Who knows, maybe someday you will even be looked up to again.” Steele appreciated Shadow’s friendship, and even the notion that he was trying to improve his situation. But what did he know? Steele thought his situation was unique; it wasn’t his fault, it was all Balto’s fault. Or was it? All Steele could be sure of at this point was that everyone hated him while at the same time they considered Balto a hero. “That wolfdog gets all the glory and all I get is scorn.” Steele muttered to himself. “If that wolfdog were not around, maybe everyone would take me back.” But Steele would have to do something incredible to win back the respect of the town.

    THE NORWEGIAN CONTRIBUTION THE CONTRIBUTION NORWEGIAN THE NORWEGIAN CONTRIBUTION The International Polar Year 2007-2008 (IPY) was one of the largest coordinated research program- mes ever implemented. Through intensive observation and data collection over the course of a two-year period the programme has laid the foundation for studies that will improve our knowledge of the Arctic and the Antarctic in the decades to come. One key topic was the significance of the polar regions for global climate. IPY was also innovative in the way it linked research with educa- tion, outreach and communication.
