Book Description
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...
Russians in Alaska, 1732-1867
Author: Lydia BlackPublisher: University of Alaska Press
ISBN: 1889963046
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
This definitive work, the crown jewel in the distinguished career of Russian America scholar Lydia T. Black, presents a comprehensive overview of the Russian presence in Alaska. Drawing on extensive archival research and employing documents only recently made available to scholars, Black shows how Russian expansion was the culmination of centuries of social and economic change. Black s work challenges the standard perspective on the Russian period in Alaska as a time of unbridled exploitation of Native inhabitants and natural resources. Without glossing over the harsher aspects of the period, Black acknowledges the complexity of relations between Russians and Native peoples. She chronicles the lives of ordinary men and women the merchants and naval officers, laborers and clergy who established Russian outposts in Alaska. These early colonists carried with them the Orthodox faith and the Russian language; their legacy endures in architecture and place names from Baranof Island to the Pribilofs. This deluxe volume features fold-out maps and color illustrations of rare paintings and sketches from Russian, American, Japanese, and European sources many have never before been published. An invaluable source for historians and anthropologists, this accessible volume brings to life a dynamic period in Russian and Alaskan history. A tribute to Black s life as a scholar and educator, "Russians in Alaska" will become a classic in the field."
