Seal and Salmon Fisheries and General Resources of Alaska; Volume 1

David Starr Jordan, Sheldon Jackson, Henry Wood Elliott

This comprehensive report on the natural resources of Alaska was prepared by a team of experts commissioned by the US Treasury Department in the late 19th century. It provides an encyclopedic overview of the fish, wildlife, minerals, and other resources of the vast Alaskan territory, as well as of its indigenous peoples and their customs. The report is an invaluable source of information on the ecological and economic dimensions of early American expansion into the North Pacific and the Arctic. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history and geography of Alaska and the US expansionist project.
