Hunting in the Arctic and Alaska (1914)

This book is of particular interest because Mr. Marshall Scull's party was the first one successfully to accomplish a hunting expedition into this part of the Arctic. Mr. Marshall Scull tells the story of an adventurous big game hunt, of which the trophies included specimens of practically all the game to be met with in Alaska, the western Arctic Ocean, and Siberia. The route of this hunting trip ran north by the inland route over the White pass to the head of the Yukon, down the river, thru Dawson and the Klondike to Nome, thence by steamer across to Siberia and north to Wrangell island in the Arctic, and back to southwestern Alaska and to Seattle by the south coast. As the author says, “It would have been hard to plan a more thorough tour of this part of the world for so short a time as we had.“ The object of the expedition was big game hunting and adventure, and the party were successful in obtaining both. There are many illustrations from photographs.
