Excerpt from Alaska-Yukon Caribou A favorite method of ca turing caribou was by means of snare fences (pl. 2, A). A pole 'ence was constructed, sometimes extend ing for miles in the path of the migrating herds. At intervals a gap was made, in which was placed a rawhide noose. The caribou, seek ing to pass the fence, would find the opening and as they attempted to go through would be caught in the snare.

In this humorous and upbeat memoir, James Wickersham describes his career as a pioneer judge and later as a congressional representative assigned to a vast, snow-covered district, extending over 300,000 square miles in the undeveloped Alaska Territory. Wickersham’s many adventures include traveling by dogsled over hundreds of miles through snow-covered mountains; serving as judge for the trials of many famous outlaws in the midst of the gold strikes; and hunting, mining, and climbing in his local Alaska wilderness. Though he was instrumental in the early history of Alaska, and his legacy is evident throughout the state—for example, he named the city of Fairbanks—this is the first and only work to focus on Wickersham’s life during this pivotal time in Alaska’s history.
