Among many areas of beauty on Kodiak Island, one of the most beautiful we have seen is an eight acre tract of handsome spruce lying between the northern shore of Shahaska Bay and an unnamed lake, all part of the home of Dr. and Mrs. A. Holmes Johnson. We drove through shaded grove to the house and thought of the forest primeval, and of European hunting lodges in deep, dim woods. Mrs. Johnson gave us a pleasant welcome and ushered us into a living room of marvellous propor- tions; high beamed ceiling and walls of polished spruce logs cast

terday, December ?, 1941, a day which will live in infamy :"
 Then, in the spring of 1858, Lord was asked to write a magazine piece on his research technique. When he went back to check his files on the Titanic disaster, he realized he had that turn-of-the. century fever again. He says: q found it was simply impossible to be exposed to those gigantic ladies' hats, those huge brass headlights, those flashing teeth of Teddy Roos- evelt, without wanting to write some more about those days. There was so much that delighted me l couldn't decide upon any particu- lar phase, and the idea suddenly occurred to me to write about them all." The result was The Good Years.
 To gather his material he studied newspapers and books by the hun dred, as well as unpublished let ters, diaries, even Pinkerton re- ports, filled with fascinating, hith- erto unknown detail. Especially valuable were the interviews he was able to obtain with people who had figured prominently in the 1900-1914 period and who were now living quietly on the sidelines.
 The Good Years is vivid cornu- copian book ranging in time and place from the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1900 to the Panic of 1907, from Peary's dash for the North Pole in 1909 to the struggle for woman's suffrage which reached a climax eff not a resolution) in 1912. The assassination of Arch duke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in July of 1914 marked the end of the era; the good old days were gone, never to return.

Book Review

The Good Years, by Walter Lord.
 Published by Harper & Brothers.
 Walter Lord became fascinated with the whole turn-of-the-century period while engaged in research for A Night to Remember. It was this book, a Book of the Month Club Alternate Selection in 1856, that made Lords reputation as unique historian-narrator. In 1t he described in detail that fateful night in April, 1912, when the White Star liner Titanic hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank, with loss of over 1900 of her 2000 passengers.
 It occurred to Lord as he col lected material from contemporary accounts and from personal inter- views with the few survivors still living in the 1950s that, quite apart from the Titanic tragedy, the people of the 1900-1914 era had had the best of everything. They had enjoyed the Good Years. AS Lord expresses it:
 Good, not because rich men rode in private railroad cars and Society gave magnificent parties. Most people rarely travelled, and many went to no parties at all.
 Good, not just because the world was at peace Millions of so-called little brown brothers took violent exception to Americas fumbling eff well-intentioned) i'm perialism.
 Good, not even because a shirt cost only g cents. The child who often made the shirt got only $3.54 a week.
 "These years were good because, whatever the trouble, people were sure they could fix it. The solu- tions differed, of course-Theodore Roosevelt had his Square Deal, Carry Nation her hatchet - but everyone at least had bold plan, and could hardly wait to try it. "
 But before Lord could get start ed on a book highlighting the events, personalities and tone of those buoyant and exuberant days, he was asked by national maga- zine to dramatize what had hap pened at Pearl Harbor in 1941. The resultant book was Day of Infamy, the title having been sug- gested, as many will recall, by President Roosevelt's famous six minute address before Joint Ses- sion of Congress, beginning, "Yes-

father, Bishop of the Methodist Church who was at that time in Central Africa. When the United States declared war on Germany he rejoined the service as a lieu tenant in tank corps of the AEF. By 1929 he had gotten his MD and had had five years post graduate study at Oxford University. Be tween 1929 and 1888, when he came to Kodiak as the only sur geon west of Seward, pr. Johnson spent years of study and medical and surgical practice in the Brit iSh Isles and in Oregon. He has compiled an impressive list of memberships in various medical organizations as well as authorship of a number of articles devoted to his special interest, diseases of the chest. In Kodiak, pr. JohnSon's IOiill lOullOllo IO lliS COlllllIlllllly have been far more than medical alone; he has given time and effort to many civic organizations and to the inspiration and incep- tion of the Kodiak and Aleutian Islands Historical Society.
 There were originally seventy eight charter members; we made a small beginning because our funds were, and are, limited. Dr. Ted Banks, an anthropologist from the University of Michigan, felt that Kodiak should be the nucleus of scientific research and develop ment for the islands area, all of which is rich in history and anthro- pology, but though we approached several foundations, we were never successful in raising funds to if nance our best ideas. Meanwhile the Society is collecting artifacts and historical data and doing a nice job of preserving what would otherwise be lost to posterity."
 Both pr. and Mrs. Johnson be- long to many other civic clubs and organizations. Although he still does surgery, his son, Dr. R. Holmes Johnson, took over his active medical practice five years ago. Dr. Bruce Keers joined him two years ago. ''That is probably the most gratifying thing of our whole Alaskan experience, that Bob wanted to become a doctor and wanted to come here.

a warm patina and reflected light from a fire in a fireplace that covered most of one wall. Mrs. Johnson told us that the stone of the fireplace was native to this area, as were the spruce logs and the cedar window frames.
 ''Our hearth is a piece of reef weighing half ton; underneath it is rough and uneven so we had it set in and built the floor around it. Almost everything here is made of native materials"
 Dr. Johnson joined us and traced the history of their home and their coming to the island. We came up in '38 and that first year I hiked all around five mile radius of the town, found this point of land and put in a homestead claim, only to learn that it was already under SldIlli CO oOlAlCOlAC C4oC. IlS uSCQCu it to the mission; we bought the eight acres from them and started to build right after that. We had been building for six months when Pearl Harbor was bombed. All together it took two years to com plete the house.
 "AS to why we came here, I took a vacation in Alaska one summer from my surgery practice in Port land, Oregon, and thought we might like to live here where life would not be so organized and there would be more leisure time. I stopped in Juneau on the way home and asked the possibilities of locating in Alaska. A year later Dr. Council, Commissioner of Health, wrote and told me there was no surgeon to the Westward and if I wanted the job we might come 10 k0dlaK. Later l was asked to practice surgery in Anchorage but we prefer Kodiak"
 Mrs. Johnson added some mem orabilia of their early days in Kodiak. When we came in 1888 there were only about five hun dred and fifty people here. We had the fourth vehicle in town of which ours was one of two still running. The other was an oil truck owned by Erich Mueller.
 Whenever there was funeral he took out the tanks and used the truck as a hearse, and mourn CTS walked along behind to the

Barbara, who has made frequent trips to this area, always gives us a lift with her ready wit and warm smile.

came and it was a long eighteen hours or more enroute. By the time they got to medical care they were either dead or in bad way. Having a doctor on Kodiak made quite difference.
 Dr. Johnson was born in Maple ton, Iowa; his wife is from Long Island. He served on the Mexican border with the National Guard in 1916 and then resigned to join his
