From May to August 1899, the Harriman Alaska Expedition,
brainchild of railroad magnate Edward Harriman, sailed from Sitka,
near Juneau, to Siberia, with many stops on the way. The passengers,
who included leading scientists, artists, and photographers, pursued
their specialties while also joining in the ship's festivities.
This special volume, a potpourri of poems, watercolors, and photos,
was Harriman's personal souvenir. Pictured are a few pages from
his album.
