From the Acknowledgement Section: "The information contained in this book was gathered during an almost continuous residence of fourteen years in Alaska and the Yukon territory... It is hoped that it will serve not only as a guide for tourists and sightseers who visit the Northern wonderland, but also that it may contain matters of interest to the stock raiser, the farmer, the miner, the prospector, the investor, and those who may go to Alaska for purposes other than sight-seeing."
