The Norwegian translation of Jacobsen's 1881- 83 expedition to Alaska and British Columbia tasked with collecting ethnological artifacts and information. "Principal trip was a six- month sledge trip in winter of 1882-83, along south side of Seward Peninsula to Bering Strait; across base of Seward Peninsula to Kobuk River on Kotzebue Sound; across Yukon delta; along lower Kuskokwim River; and southeast to Togiak Bay. A steamer trip was made up the Yukon River to the Tanana and return; an umiak trip from Bristol Bay to and along Cook's Inlet via Iliamna Lake; and a short visit to the Copper River delta. Chief collections (of which numerous illus.) were made from West Alaska Eskimos and Ingalik Indians; lesser ones from northern Tlingit and other nearby tribes. Includes detailed descriptions of shamanistic performances and festivals, and other varied ethnologic data. Archeologic excavations were made at a village site (Soonroodna) on Kenai Peninsula. Sea-otter hunting reported from Kenai Peninsula" - ARCTIC BIBLIOGRAPHY. The first Norwegian edition, and more difficult to obtain than the German edition. ARCTIC BIBLIOGRAPHY 7956 (ref).
