A rare, late 19th-century account from Frederick Schwatka on Arctic voyages and expeditions. “Report of a Military Reconnaissance in Alaska” is a “description of the military exploring expedition made in 1883 to explore the Yukon River to determine its military utility.” (Decker). Schwatka describes various Eskimo and Indian tribes including the Chilkat and Tsimpsean people, Indian death and funeral rituals, volcanos, salmon and trout fishing, and even an account of Mastodon bones! Other important contents include descriptions of Fort Yukon Indians, Ingalik tribes, Indians of the Aleutian Islands, Thlinket war canoes, and features numerous in-text illustrations! The views of indigenous people are especially compelling!

 

The Arctic Bibliography notes,

“A detailed narrative for general readers of the Alaska Military Reconnaissance 1883 with running comment on the country traversed, on the Indians, Eskimos, and their customs.”
