Volume 5 of the "Harriman Alaska Expedition" recounts the scientific journey to the Alaskan frontier. Led by Edward Henry Harriman and organized in conjunction with the Washington Academy of Sciences, the expedition brought together leading naturalists, artists, and scientists to document Alaska's natural wonders at the turn of the 20th century.
This volume likely contains detailed observations, illustrations, and analyses of Alaskan flora, fauna, geology, and indigenous cultures. It offers a snapshot of Alaska during a period of rapid change and growing American interest. As part of the complete record of the expedition, Volume 5 stands as a valuable resource for historians, scientists, and anyone interested in the natural and cultural heritage of Alaska.
