"This story finds the Hollister family off to Alaska with Uncle Russ and their two cousins, Teddy and Jean. Russ Hollister, a commercial artist and cartoonist, has run out of ideas and is trying to think of a new location for his comic strip characters. The children, whose interest in the Far North has been aroused by an encounter with an old man and the totem pole he brought back as a souvenir of his adventurous days as a gold miner, persuade Uncle Russ to make Alaska the background for his new cartoon series. The gold miner has told the children that his totem pole is a replica of a pole that holds a secret, which was lost somewhere near Sitka, Alaska."

This book is in good condition. The dust jacket has some chips, tears, and wear. Front endpapers has worn thin parts. Dark red cover. Garden City Books. Lists to "The Happy Hollisters and the Mystery of the Little Mermaid" (1960). A nice book to add to a collection!
