About this Item

Large 8vo. Pp. 325. Green pebble-grain cloth, blindstamped, with gilt spine lettering. Amply illustrated throughout with b&w photo reproductions. A few pages were evidently attached to each other with slight dampening, with insignificant abrasion to those pages, not affecting text. That said, a handsome copy with bright shelf appeal. The Nunivak was dispatched to collect revenue and to offer law-and-order to the large gold rush populations that filled the Yukon Valley. Cantwell's narrative encompasses incidents of duty for three seasons. Includes a comparative Eskimo and Ingalik vocabularies; a list of vessels engaged in commerce; a reconnaissance of the Dall River, the Koyukuk River, and the Koyukuk Trail. Seller Inventory # 49
