Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thirteen Years of Travel and Exploration in Alaska
It is the intention of the writer of this book to put before the reader the knowledge he has gained of the Territory of Alaska, both of the coast and interior, its gold and silver mines, its fisheries; in fact, to give a truthful and reliable account of all its valuable resources and geological and botanical curiosities. A true and reliable knowledge of these things has been obtained in thirteen years of travel and exploration in this little known Territory.
This Territory is larger than that of the thirteen original States of the Union, while its ccast line, including bays and islands, is more than 25,000 miles; but it is less known in its interior than Australia or Africa.
It is a country rich in the precious metals, furs, fisheries, and other valuable products.
