'Enthralling' Luke Jennings, author of Blood Knots 'Stirring and heartbreaking' David Owen, author of Where the Water Goes A captivating, lyrical account of an epic voyage by canoe down the Yukon River. The Yukon River is almost 2,000 miles long, flowing through Canada and Alaska to the Bering Sea. Setting out to explore one of the most ruggedly beautiful and remote regions of North America, Adam Weymouth journeyed by canoe on a four-month odyssey through this untrammelled wilderness, encountering the people who have lived there for generations. The Yukon's inhabitants have long depended on the king salmon who each year migrate the entire river to reach their spawning grounds. Now the salmon numbers have dwindled, and the encroachment of the modern world has changed the way of life on the Yukon, perhaps for ever. Weymouth's searing portraits of these people and landscapes offer an elegiac glimpse of a disappearing world. Kings of the Yukon is an extraordinary adventure, told by a powerful new voice.

This robust and engaging travel narrative re-creates a remarkable adventure in the summer of 1935, when Frederica de Laguna, then in her late 20s, led a party of three other scientists down the rivers of the middle and lower Yukon valley, making a geological and archaeological reconnaissance. De Laguna has based her story on her field notes, journals, and letters home. She augments this first-hand account with excerpts from the reports of earlier explorers and data published after her trip. The result is a fascinating and informative cross-cut of historical events along the Yukon River and its tributaries. Travels Among the Dena chronicles the expedition from its outfitting in Seattle and the trip by steamer and railway to Fairbanks and Nenana, through an 80-day journey on skiffs down the Tanana and Yukon rivers to Holy Cross near the coast, with side trips on the Koyukuk, Khotol, and Innoko rivers, before a one-day return flight to Fairbanks with pioneer bush pilot Noel Wien. Maps illustrate the route taken downriver, and the author’s photographs capture images of the time. The resulting volume is both a delightful addition to the literature of travel adventure in Alaska and an important contribution to the discipline of anthropology.

Canada's Yukon is one the world's last great wildernesses, where bears, moose and caribou roam. It's a place where hikers, paddlers, skiers and mushers can travel for days without seeing another human soul, where the northern lights dance green and red across starry skies, and where glaciers tumble, mountain peaks soar, and tundra shrubs scream scarlet as summer turns to fall. Bradt's Yukon is the only guidebook dedicated to this natural and historical wonderland. Offering practical advice on everything from where to pan for gold to how to avoid being eaten by a bear, alongside quirky anecdotes (such as the story behind the 'sourtoe cocktail' - a shot of whisky garnished with a severed human toe), it's the perfect companion for highway drivers, cruise-ship passengers, and outdoors enthusiasts alike.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ...for many years; now we do not talk any more about the government in connection with the native people of Alaska; the government is blind to everything save mining-camps and town sites, deaf to everything save the screech of its new THE FUTURE OF THE YUKON 191 locomotives. It is the business of the church; to save the people alive in the land we must make it the business of the church. Sometimes while standing for hours at the wheel of the launch Pelican, slowly grinding up-stream, or slipping swiftly down with the current, or while trudging on snowshoes ahead of the dogs in the winter, beating out a trail for them through the snow, I dream and speculate about the future of this vast, lonely Yukon country, and I can bring myself to no forecast in which the native people do not constitute the bulk of the permanent settled population of by far the greater part of it. It is a good and sufficient Indian country; it would support twice or thrice its present Indian inhabitants, as there is evidence it has done in the past; but it is not a good white man's country by any standard that countries have been judged by hitherto. White men of the trading class, of a certain shiftless, casual class, there will, I suppose, always be, and their blood will mix with the blood of the native, as it is mixing to-day, and will modify it to an increasing extent. Regions where valuable minerals are found will have a preponderating or even exclusive white population, so long as the yield persists. But the visions that gladden the eye and fire the imagination of many, visions of great tracts under the plough and still greater tracts under fence for pasture, visions of ranches and farms and contented homes all over the Yukon wilderness, will not take form before my...
