The Seal Islands of Alaska

Explore the Seal Islands of Alaska with the historical text, illustrations, and maps of Henry W. Elliott.

Included are his catalogued descriptions of the mammals, birds, fish, and plants of the islands taken by a true naturalist. Join Elliott in this adventure through time
