About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Travel and Adventure in the Territory of Alaska: Formerly Russian America Now Ceded to the United States and in Various Other Parts of the North Pacific So little is kwn of the interior of Russian America, that I trust even this imperfect and meagre narrative may prove t altogether uninteresting. A large portion of these pages refers to a journey made in the Yukon region, which though containing one of the grandest streams on the North American continent, has hitherto remained almost unticed. Sir John Richardson, indeed, when on the Mackenzie, collected some information respecting it, but never visited any portion of it, whilst the travels of Zagoskin, of the Russian Imperial Navy, have never been popularly kwn. This country has recently acquired some tice from its transfer to the United States Government, and within a few years we shall doubtless hear more of it. The natives have been hitherto so isolated from civilization, that perhaps in other part of America can the. red-skin be seen to greater perfection. In a few generations he will be extinct. Alaska Territory - the title by which the whole of Russian America is to be kwn in future - though as good a name as any other, is founded, apparently, on a misconception.
