About this Item
Description:
8vo. Pp. 174. Lavishly illustrated with black and white photography. With a massive folding map of Alaska, and a sketch map of reindeer stations and routes of travel among them. Black cloth with gilt lettering stamped on spine. Index. Binding shows slight wear but for slightly bumped corners. Top edge soiled. A sturdy copy. Jackson was General Agent of Education in Alaska at time of publication.

The photos, one showing the supply schooner Laura Madsen, and another of Right Rev. Innocent Putinsky of the Russain Orthodox Church in Alaska, as well as those with Eskimo reindeer herders, are particularly good. Scarce. Seller Inventory # 2133
