<p>Alaska, with its soaring peaks, mighty rivers, awe-inspiring glaciers, and unbroken ranks of emerald forest, is a land that stirs the soul. But for the Salvation Army, it was not the breathtaking scenery, nor the hire of gold or fortune, that led its own adventurers to the hardships and dangers of the remote and harsh wilderness of this Great Land. Its 'invasion' of Alaska was motivated by its passion for the souls being lost at the very gates of Hell. This colorful and captivating saga of The Salvation Army's century of service in Alaska takes the reader to those front lines and the early pioneers who were ready to pay the price of caring for souls on the brink of destruction. It also tells the story of the unique development of the Army's evangelism and growth among the storied villages of the Native population, some of whom became heroes of the movement during those early days. Henry Gariepy chronicles this stirring saga of God's Army in Alaska, from the frenetic days of the Gold Rush, right up to its unrelenting mission near the end of the century. It is essentially the story of 'What God hath wrought! '</p>
