Description
1897 1ed Alaska & Klondike Gold Fields Canada Eskimo INDIANS Mining Schwatka



A.C. Harriss “Alaska and the Klondike Gold Fields” is a 19th-century account of expeditions in Canada and Alaska. Much of the work is devoted to describing gold mining in Yukon camps, though of particular interest is the inclusion of native tribe life of Indians, slaves, and their cultural practices including cannibalism. This work includes a myriad of fascinating photographs and woodcut engravings of the Alaskan mines, miners, and their adventures.
