Enlightened & As Tough As They Come,
By
This review is from: Ten Thousand Miles with a Dog Sled: A Narrative of Winter Travel in Interior Alaska (Paperback)
A wonderful book. English born Stuck was appointed Episcopal Archbishop for the Alaska territory at the end of the 19th century, a role he took very seriously. For a product of blue-blood Victorian England his attitudes to the native peoples were surprisingly enlightened (for example, he rages against the corrupting influence of Russian fur traders).
Tough as the any of the most intrepid Victorian explorers his stiff upper lip attitude to the dangers & deprivations of back country life make for amusing reading (apparently he dressed for dinner on the trail). The Alaska University Press edition contained some nice photographs, I'm not sure if this one does.
