About this ebook
One of the first official government documents concerned with the new United States Territory of Alaska. The author, George Davidson, had headed the United States scientific expedition to Alaska in 1867, and his report on the resources of Alaska helped sway Congress to purchase "Seward's Icebox." Much of the information in this book was derived from Russian sources including atlases of charts and other information. Besides being a book of sailing directions, there is information on climate, history, resources, and ethnography of native peoples found in this book. Eight lithographed plates are found in the pilot, two contemporary views of Sitka being particularly outstanding.
