Excerpt from Alaska, Vol. 6: Its Southern Coast and the Sitkan Archipelago The map accompanying the book is a reduced section of the last general chart of Alaska published by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, and is reproduced here by the permission of the compiler, Prof. William H. Dall. Of the illustrations, the cut of the Indian grave at Fort Wrangell was one accompanying an article published in Harper's Weekly, August 30, 1884, and other pictures have been presented to readers of the Wide Awake magazine of March, 1885. For views of the Davidson glacier, the North River, and the t0p of the Muir glacier, and the interior of the Greek Church at Sitka, from which cuts were made, I am indebted to a daring and successful amateur photo grapher of San Francisco, to whom especial credit is due.
