Looks fascinating! "A record of primitive Alaskan life in the 1930s. It records the experiences in Alaska's remote areas of the last "traveling physician" for the Department of Interior's Indian Service, when in all the territory (an area one-fifth that of the contiguous United States) there were fewer than sixty thousand persons. This book deals with the Eskimos of the Bering Sea, along the coast of the Arctic Ocean, the areas of the Kuskokwim rivershed and of the lower Yukon." --Back cover
