Neiedkieck provides a detailed account with pictures and map of his 1906 trip from Japan to the east coast of Kamchatka and the Gulf of Anadyr across Bering Strait to Nome and southward to Unalaska, Kenai Peninsula and down the inside passage. Contents include descriptions of big game hunting, mining and fisheries of Alaska; flora, fauna, birds and animals and observations on the Northern Indigenous Chukchis, Aleuts and Tinglit peoples.
