Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book explores the contentious history and contemporary state of fisheries legislation in the massive territory of Alaska beginning with the late 1800s and ending with legislation proposed in 1910. Set within a framework of concerns for waste, economic dominance by corporations, and the absence of local tax revenue, the author illuminates the myriad ways that this intricate issue impacts the populace of Alaska. The author sets the scene with statistics for the time period, clearly demonstrating the massive scale of the industry and its central importance to the identity and livelihood of Alaskans. Particularly striking are the details of the rebate system that rewarded canneries for releasing small fish into the wild. The author provides an in-depth analysis of the various Alaskan grand jury reports that consistently decried the lack of accountability inherent in the system.
