Summary "Gulf and Glacier; or, The Percivals in Alaska" by Willis Boyd Allen is a travel adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the Percival family and their friends as they embark on a summer journey to Alaska. The narrative is filled with themes of exploration, camaraderie, and the beauty of nature, as the characters experience the great American wilderness and the wonders of the Alaskan landscape. At the start of the novel, a bright July morning sees the characters gather excitedly at the Boston and Lowell Depot, preparing to board a train bound for an extraordinary journey across the continent to Alaska. Among them are Tom Percival, his cousin Randolph, and their companion Fred Seacomb, each displaying youthful enthusiasm for the adventure ahead. The initial chapter introduces the lively atmosphere of the train station, emphasizing the thrill of new beginnings as they depart amongst family and friends. Along the way, the readers get a glimpse of the various friendships and relationships among the group, hinting at both light-hearted banter and deeper connections that are likely to develop throughout their travels.
