Sobre este artículo
London: John Lane, 1925. xiv,[13],440 pp. Octavo. Second revised edition. Frontispiece. Fifty-six plates from photos (including frontispiece). Folding map. Original decorative blue cloth with gilt lettering on the spine. Original printed dust wrapper, which has a few chips and minor wear. Bright, tight and clean copy. Arctic Biblio. 18189. The book was based on the author's first hand experience in Alaska and various government publications. There is also a chapter on the Klondike Gold Rush. This edition would appear to be no more than a reprint and may have extra illustrations. The first edition appeared in 1913. Scarce, especially so in the dust wrapper. 1925
