Description

Covering vast distances in time and house, Yukon: The Last Frontier begins with the early Russian fur industry at the Aleutian Islands and closes with what Melody Webb calls ‘the technological frontier’. Colourful and impeccably researched, her history of the Yukon Basin of Canada and Alaska displays how much and the way little has changed there within the last two centuries. Successive waves of traders, trappers, miners, explorers, squaddies, missionaries, settlers, steamboat pilots, road builders, and aviators have come to the Yukon, bringing economic and social changes, however the immense land ‘continues to be nearly untouched by permanent intrusions.’
