Journey (novel)

Journey (novel)

"Journey", a novel by James Michener, is an excerpt from his large novel "Alaska". The novel depicts five men, one of whom was an English lord, journeying from Great Britain through Canada to the Klondike, for the gold rush taking place. It was cut from the original novel because it made the novel over 1000 pages long which would greatly deter people from reading it. His editor also proclaimed that because there was already a chapter on the Alaskan side of the gold rush that the chapter was irrelevant.

Michener donated the Canadian royalty earnings from the novel to endow the Journey Prize, an annual Canadian literary award for the best short story published by an emerging writer.
