He provides a detailed account of the gold rush that occurred in Alaska in the late 1800s, which had a significant impact on the region’s economy and population.Throughout the book, Dall provides vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of Alaska, including its glaciers, mountains, and wildlife. He also shares his observations on the culture and way of life of the indigenous people of Alaska, including the Tlingit, Haida, and Inuit.''Alaska As It Was And Is, 1865-1895'' is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Alaska.
