Summary: "Along Alaska's Great River" by Frederick Schwatka is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book narrates the experiences of an Alaskan exploring expedition led by Schwatka that journeyed along the Yukon River from its source to its mouth, documenting the geography and indigenous cultures encountered along the way. The expedition reflects a keen interest in the natural history of the region and the burgeoning gold fields, notably the Klondike area, drawing attention to some of the challenges and discoveries faced during the travels. The opening of the narrative introduces the members of Schwatka's expedition, including military personnel and those with intimate knowledge of Alaskan geography and culture. The author sets the stage by detailing the decision to embark on this little-known route and the logistical challenges faced in organizing supplies and securing Indian packers for the journey ahead. Upon the expedition's departure from Portland to embark through the Inland Passage, the narrative hints at the encounters with diverse landscapes, native tribes, and significant geographical landmarks that are pivotal to understanding this alluring yet harsh environment of Alaska, laying the groundwork for the adventures that follow.
