  • THE BEST of ALASKA CRUISING Alaska
    05_575791 ch01.qxd 12/28/04 9:51 AM Page 6 1 The Best of Alaska Cruising Alaska is one of the top cruise destinations in the world, and when you’re sail- ing through the calm waters of the Inside Passage or across the Gulf of Alaska, it’s easy to see why. The scenery is simply breathtaking. Much of the coastline is wilderness, with snowcapped mountain peaks, immense glaciers that create a thunderous noise as they calve into the sea, emer- ald rainforests, fjords, icebergs, soaring eagles, lumbering bears, and majestic whales all easily visible from the comfort of your ship. Visit the towns and you’ll find people who retain the spirit of frontier inde- pendence that brought them here in the first place. Add Alaska’s colorful history and heritage, with its European influences, its spirit of discovery, and its rich Native cultures, and you have a destination that is utterly and endlessly fascinating. The fact that approximately 700,000 cruise passengers—give or take a few— arrive annually in this last great frontier has had its impact, of course. In the summer some towns turn into tourist malls populated by seasonal vendors and imported souvenirs. However, the port towns you’ll visit—from Juneau, the most remote state capital in the country, to Sitka, with its proud reminders of Native and Russian culture—retain much of their rustic charm and historical allure. Sure, you may have to jostle for a seat in Juneau’s popular Red Dog Saloon (a must-do beer stop) or ask other visitors to step out of the way as you try to snap a picture of Skagway’s historic gold-rush buildings, but these are minor hassles for cruise ship passengers.

August 2015 Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve PO Box 439/Mile 106.8 Richardson Highway Copper Center AK 99573 www.nps.gov/wrst Completed under Cooperative Agreement H8W0711000, Task Agreement J8W07100006, between Portland State University and the National Park Service, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. Introduction The following annotated bibliography was compiled as part of a project to develop an ethnographic overview and assessment for Yakutat Tlingit and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, which is available as a separate document. While this annotated bibliography is meant to serve as a guide for the research for the aforementioned ethnographic overview and assessment, it also serves as a standalone product that can be used as a resource for both agency and tribal representatives, as well as other individuals interested in researching the Wrangell-St. Elias lands, Yakutat Tlingit, historical narratives related to the region and a variety of other related topics. While the sources listed and annotated in this bibliography were reviewed specifically for references to Wrangell-St. Elias and Yakutat Tlingit, they were also reviewed for the purpose of developing a more general understanding of the cultural and historical context in which Yakutat Tlingit existed and evolved from the pre-contact era into the contemporary period.
