The first two volumes (of twelve, see below), comprising the findings of the expedition to Alaska undertaken in 1899 by Edward Harriman, in cooperation with the Washington Academy of Sciences. The party, which included three artists, two photographers, and twenty-five distinguished scientists and naturalists (e.g. ornithologist and author Daniel G. Elliot, proto-conservationist John Muir, William H. Brewer of Yale, George Bird Grinnell, Prof. William Ritter of the University of California, etc.), sailed from Seattle on May 30, 1899, aboard the chartered steamship, Geo. W. Elder. They sailed along the Northwest Coast, through the Bering Sea with stops at various islands, visited Inuit settlements on the Asiatic and American coasts, and went through the Bering Strait to Siberia before heading home, travelling nine thousand miles in all. These first two volumes constitute the entire narrative of the journey and are fully illustrated, with significant contributions from Louis Agassiz Fuertes (18741927), who contributes fourteen beautiful chromolithographs of birds, and the expedition's official photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis (18681952), who adds forty-five evocative landscape and ethnographic photogravures. Also present are as other images after artists R. Swain Gifford, Fred S. Dellenbaugh, Frederick A. Walpole, and Charles R. Knight, and photogravures from photographs by various other expedition members, primarily C. Hart Merriam. The remaining volumes (ten in total, as volumes VI and VII were never published, and volume XIV was published in two volumes) comprise all the scientific articles and monographs to result from the expedition over the next twelve years, and are very rarely encountered. Following Harriman's death in 1910, the publishing rights were transferred by his widow to the Smithsonian, who issued titlepages to the first eleven volumes, and went on to publish the final two volumes in 1914. Both of these volumes belonged to Henry Grier Bryant. Bryant led his own expedition to the Grand Falls of Labrador in 1891 and was a member of the mission to resupply Robert Edwin Peary during his Greenland expedition, afterwards returning to become a founding member and long-time president of the Geographical Society of Philadelphia. In 1894, he was the leader of the Peary Auxiliary Expedition which followed up on the earlier voyage's findings. A beautifully illustrated and thorough account of an important Alaskan journey.
