Abstract:
This collection consists of an unpublished book manuscript written by Ulysses G. Parks entitled "At Their Very Door, " dated circa 1913. The typed but unpublished text is bound. The manuscript's attributed historical fiction plot is the story of an adventure in Southeast Alaska between a Tlingit girl and a Russian trapper/prospector who work together to find a large cache of gold deep in the mountains. The Tlingit girl, Chala Taipen, is attributed as being from the Wrangell area, while the Russian trapper, Ivan Mitoff, rescues her from a winter storm, and the two later work together to seek out gold, which they learned about via Tlingit lore and a treasure map. The pair travel to various parts of Southeast Alaska, the Popof Glacier, the Chilkoot area of Alaska, and other places, and eventually marry.
