Thursday, July 11. 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Edison Marshall Back From Visit to Alaska Portland Novelist Edison Marshall, former Medford resi dent, stopped in Portland this week en route to his home in Augusta, Ga., after spending a period in Alaska doing research for his next novel. Alaska was the setting of Marshall's early novels. In an interview with the Ore gon Journal, Marshall observed that "Alaska is of enormous im portance to the United States be cause it is one of the last breed ing grounds of individualists." "I perceived this individuality of Alaskan people when I was young, and I have found that this spirit is still true of that vast area. There is no pattern or type there and every man is an individual," he told the Jour nal reporters. "The sourdoughs have taken over the cheechakos, or new comers, instead of the other way around, as might have happened. I find that this spirit of indi' viduality is quite true of the entire Northwest." Need of Industry The novelist said his Alaska visit proved to him that the territory is "in desperate need of industry." Texas had a marketed output of 5,133 billion cubic feet of natural gas, valued at $436,300, 000 in 1956. "My 'left hand' mission there was to look at timber holdings relative to the Georgia-Pacific Plywood corporation," Marshall said. The author has a financial interest in the Portland firm. "Timber can continue as a tre mendous wealth if it is intelli gently handled, and will not be diminished as the other wealths such as gold, fish and fur," he said. Marshall told the paper he considers "The Viking" his best novel. It is currently being made into a motion picture and will star Kirk Douglas, Ernest Borg nine, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. Among his novels are "Benja min Blacke," "Yankee Pasha" and the "The Far Call." "The Voice of the Pack," has south ern Oregon as its setting.
