William H. Dall - Field notes, 1871-1872

Following from William H. Dall's earlier fieldwork in Alaska as part of the Western Union Telegraph Expedition, Dall continues his research in the area as part of the United States Coast Survey. This book of his field notes from 1871-1872 reflect his diary-like style and include discussions about placement of survey equipment weather details, sketches, and the people in different communities. Please help us transcribe this second in a series of his US Coast Survey field books. Difficulty: medium. The beginning of the field book is largely weather-related notations with more narrative entries later on.
