The Harriman Alaska Expedition: Chronicles and Souvenirs May to August
1899
This is the private souvenir album created collectively by the members
of the scientific expedition along the Alaskan coast funded and accompanied
by railroad magnate Edward H. Harriman in the summer of 1899. In addition
to the Harriman family, the expedition included a host of scientific, literary
and artistic luminaries, whose names are listed in the album; the major
results of its scientific and ethnological investigations filled fifteen
volumes published between 1901 and 1914. The album includes maps, photographs,
paintings, poems, song lyrics, and prose, reflecting participants' experience
of the beauty of the scenery, their perceptions of wildlife, of Native
peoples and customs, their scientific field observations, interpersonal
relationships, and patriotic celebrations on the Fourth of July. Highlights
include the photographs of Edward S. Curtis, for whom the Expedition launched
a remarkable career as a visual chronicler of Native Americans; paintings
by Louis Agassiz Fuertes, at the outset of his career as the nation's most
notable ornithological painter since Audubon; notes on the region's indigenous
trees from pioneering forester Bernhard E. Fernow; a meditation on the
seasons by wildlife conservationist George B. Grinnell; and various entries
by nature essayist John Burroughs and by America's great prophet of wilderness
(and lover of Alaska), John Muir.
