In 1915, Hugh Hammond Bennett, pioneer of American soil conservation, led a team of agronomists on a soil survey of Alaska. The findings of this expedition are presented in this seminal work, which outlines the agricultural potential of Alaska's unique soils and climate. Filled with detailed maps, charts, and photographs, this book remains an important reference for researchers and policymakers concerned with land use and conservation in Alaska.
