About this book
Along Alaska's Great River is a popular account of the travels of an Alaska exploring expedition along the great Yukon River, from its source to its mouth. The title page names Frederick Schwatka as commander of the expedition. The preface says the expedition was organized with seven members at Vancouver Barracks, Washington, and left Portland, Oregon, ascending through the inland passage to Alaska.
The text says Dixon Entrance bore once a Spanish name in honor of its discoverer, a name which is heard no more, although a few still call the channel by its Indian name, Kaiganee. The text says that stores were landed on a raft made of only two logs, which impressed the writer with the size of the Sitka cedar. The text says that most of the Ayan men, and especially the younger members, were armed with bows and arrows.
