“Excellent maps, graphs, figures, tables, and photographs add visual definition to text, which, in addition to excellent historical perspectives, provides more technical and scientific information than this historian would ever need. Although published ten years ago, the discussions are surprisingly pertinent today, and the book remains an excellent reference.”     —JOURNAL of the WEST, October 1994.
Extracts from Published Reviews
Author's Note: Don't be fooled by the low price of this book. Its preparation was subsidized by an agency of the state of Alaska with the requirement that 300 copies be given free to Alaska's school libraries, and the remaining press run be sold for less than $20 per copy. (At $19.95 it is a steal; the price could have been $19.99.)

The book is intended for the general audience and as a reference for professionals.
The book is out of print, but a few new copies are available at the original list price from Alaska-Yukon Publications. Order by e-mail at neildavs@mosquitonet.com
