Edward W. Nelson - Alaska, March 10 - April 3, 1880
About the Project
This installment of Edward Nelson's field notes from Alaska takes us through the end of 1878, where his observations take a more particular focus on birds (as evidenced by the journal's title including "ornithological," emblazoned boldly across the top edge of the cover). His detailed observations are interwoven with his narrative description of life in Alaska, and provide insight into his relationships with Native Alaskans as they assisted him in collecting specimens—some of which were the first gathered by European-descended Americans.
