Review

This colorfully illustrated book takes you to the Chilkat Valley in the upper corner of southeastern Alaska. It tells of the aborigines, the traders, missionaries, prospectors, fishermen, soldiers, loggers, hunters and trappers, homesteaders... and finally, the visitors and recreationists... shows what the traveler misses by just passing through. -- The Jersey Journal
