Into the Savage Land by Ernest Sipes
An annotated journal of Edward Adams. The young Victorian-era doctor was part of an expedition sent to Russian Alaska in 1850 to search for fellow countryman and explorer John Franklin and his crew. As the expedition's naturalist, Adams made observations, recordings and drawings of the excursion, particularly the customs of the local Natives and their interactions with members of the Russian American Company. Adams' writings offer a first-person account of travels into interior Alaska and the inherent dangers involved, including freezing cold temperatures, suspicious Russians and warring Natives.
Sipes, Ernest: - Editor Ernest Sipes was born, raised and continues to live in Alaska. History, particularly the colonial period of the area's past, has always been one of his great interests. Sipes' experiences growing up in Alaska with Natives and his travels in remote areas of northwest Brazil observing the assimilation of Indians of the Amazon have given him particular insight into interpreting the journal of Edward Adams. Mr. Sipes' formal education includes a BA from Brigham Young University.
