1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointed in coverage,
This review is from: Biographies of Alaska-Yukon Pioneers 1850-1950, Volume 1 (Paperback)
This book contains brief (less than one page average) biographies of 396 people. Not one of them was a pioneer documented in the 1895 Yukon Order of Pioneers, 40 Mile photograph. Not one of them was in the photograph of Yukon River traders taken about 1885 at St. Michael.
The sources cited are mostly Alaska newspapers and magazines, and mainly obituaries or biographical puff pieces. References to the original articles are cited, but there is no indication of whether or how much the author has edited them. The book has no index or table of contents. This review applies to ISBN0788400878. The copy I looked at was published in 1984. There are other editions of the same title out there, one labeled "Volume 5". The publishers web site also lists Vol 2 and Vol 4, but they are not available. It's not clear if these volumes include new names. If you expect to find your pioneer in these books, you are liable to be disappointed.
