With Sack and Stock in Alaska

by Horatio George Broke

About the author

Horatio George Broke was a British Army officer who also wrote travel and memoir-style work. A record in Alumni Oxonienses says he was the son of Colonel George Broke, entered Christ Church, Oxford in 1826 at age 18, and later served in the 81st Foot and the 60th Rifles.

Reference works connected with his family and career suggest a life closely tied to military service and the wider British Empire. That background helps explain the practical, eyewitness quality associated with his writing, including With Sack and Stock in Alaska.

Reliable biographical details about him are limited in the sources I could confirm, so some parts of his life remain unclear. I also could not confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages I checked.
