This is a volume of truly engaging history of the far north of Alaska, late 19th and early 20th centuries, written in journal form by one of the true pioneers of that region of the USA. Charles Brower brings the reader into his world, which is a world largely passed and gone, a world dealing with early relationships between native American and white cultures. It is written in a very engaging, uncomplicated style, and affords the reader a unique glimpse of his world.
