Beschreibung:
Henry W. Elliott presented Our Arctic Province, his comprehensive book on Alaska, in 1886, two years after the publication of his groundbreaking report The Seal Islands of Alaska. Elliott's wide-ranging work reveals the breathtaking panorama of the rugged country. He details the incredible wildlife, the native inhabitants, weather, glaciers, and the effects of man and his settlements on this amazing territory. A noted artist and naturalist, he provides us with detailed observations of how things work in the stark beauty and harsh reality that is the arctic. From its discovery in 1741 by Bering, through its acquisition by the United States in 1867, Elliott observes and shares the changes, the losses and the new discoveries. Presented as it was originally published in 1886.
