Excerpt from Report of a Military Reconnaissance: In Alaska, Made in 1883

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author describes the 1883 military reconnaissance of Alaska. Part of a larger military mission to fully understand the recently acquired territory, the reconnaissance team was tasked with mapping out the Chilkoot Inlet to Fort Selkirk on the Yukon River. The book gives a detailed account of the journey, from Chilkat to Lindeman Lake, through the Wheaton, Tahk-o, and Nares Rivers, and others. The author describes the geography of the region, the challenges the team faced, the native tribes they encountered, and the wildlife they observed, providing a rich picture of Alaska in the late 19th century. Through the author's keen observations about the native tribes and the region itself, this book offers a valuable historical account of the United States Army's initial exploration and mapping of this vast and diverse territory.
