Synopsis

This book, published by U.S. Bureau of Education in 1893, is a first-hand account of introducing domesticated reindeer to Alaska. Authored by Sheldon Jackson, general agent of education in Alaska, this volume is both a historical record and a significant contribution to understanding the region. The book details the challenges and opportunities of introducing reindeer to a region struggling with food shortages and a deteriorating ecosystem. The author presents a comprehensive overview of the project, including the challenges of purchasing and transporting the reindeer, the superstitious beliefs of the native population, and the potential for the reindeer to transform the lives of Alaskans. The book concludes with a discussion of the broader implications of the project, emphasizing its potential to preserve native culture, provide sustenance, and unlock economic opportunities in the region.
