Abstract

Dall's Alaska
July 7, 1870 issue

add to cart   close window

The article gives information about the book "Alaska and Its Resources," by W.H. Dall. Dall divides his book into two parts. In the first, he gives an account of his travels on the Yukon and in the adjacent territory; and, in the second, he treats of the geography, history, inhabitants, and resources of the country generally. But the chief excellence of Dall's book lies in its second part. Here he has collected an astonishing amount of valuable information, from sources numerous, and in many cases not easily accessible, concerning the geography, history, inhabitants, climate, and resources of the new territory.
