This work contains, in popular form, the 

 results of the expedition sent in 1899, by 

 Mr. Edward H. Harriman, to this land of 

 fogs, glaciers, volcanoes, seals, and gold. 



The twenty-five eminent scientists made 

 extensive collections in their various 

 branches of research ; no less than twenty- 

 six new species of mammals were dis- 

 covered, and the results in other branches 

 of zoology, inbotany, ornithology, geology, 

 etc., were almost as important. Many new 

 glaciers, and a large fjord, hitherto un- 

 mapped, were also explored. It is not only 

 the final authority on Alaska, but a book of 

 fascinating interest.
