Previous owners signature on rear endpaper - Philip W. Lauriat, 3d Lieut., RCS, Nov 1st, 1903. CONDITION DESCRIPTION: Minor shelf rubbing to edges and spine ends, else bright. Interior is clean and tight. CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: Important narrative of early US Revenue Service work in Alaska and the Yukon River. The Nunivak was a stern-paddle wheel river boat built for duty as a revenue cutter and patrol boat for service on the Yukon River. First Lieutenant John C. Cantwell, USRCS, was assigned on 4 April 1899 as her first and only commanding officer. She was placed in commission on 1 May 1899 and was ordered towed to Seattle by the cutter Rush. The cutters departed San Francisco on 6 May but anchored in Humbolt Harbor as Nunivak was "leaking badly, hog chains and towline parted. Oakum spewed out of seams." After some repairs the cutters departed for Seattle, arriving there on 24 May 1899. They departed Seattle on 10 June 1899 bound for Port Townsend. They arrived at St. Michael, Alaska on 6 July 1899. The Nunivak was ordered to be put up for sale on 3 May 1901, after serving less than two years. This publication includes Cantwell's narrative of operations. Also includes sections on general information on the Yukon River, mines and mining, ethnological notes on the habits and customs of the natives, explorations of both the Koyukuk and Dall Rivers.

First edition. Octavo. 325, [1] pp. Illustrated throughout with photographs. Publisher's green cloth with gilt spine lettering. Very minor spine extremity and tip wear. Overall, a very good and clean copy in the original, very attractive, binding.While Captain of the Revenue Steamer Nunivak in 1899?1901, Cantwell sent out exploratory teams from the Yukon River, some during winter. This report contains a wealth of information about the native Alaskans, the local fauna and flora nd the typography of the land. His 1902 report was declared ?one of the finest books ever written about Alaska? by the explorer General Adolphus Greely. Between 1884 and 1901, Cantwell?s activities were mostly in the Arctic, usually with the RCS?s Bering Sea Fleet. Cantwell was a proponent for introducing reindeer into AlaskaPreviously owned by William Hamilton and signed and dated (1903) by him on the front pastedown. Hamilton was also involved in the introduction of reindeer into Alaska; "In 1902 the last importation of reindeer from Siberia took place, When Dr. William Hamilton, Assistant Agent of Education in Alaska and later Assistant Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Education, assisted by Captain Francis Tuttle of the Bear, secured thirty head of reindeer from the vicinity of Cape Ilpinski at the entrance to Baron Korf Bay. The Russians thereupon withdrew all permits for the exportation of reindeer from their domain" (Carl Lomen).
