From the Wikipedia website: "The Harriman Alaska Expedition was an expedition organized by E. H. Harriman, a railway magnate and financier, to explore the coastal waters and territory of Alaska in 1899. During this expedition, from May 31 until July 30, over 5,000 photographs were taken to document its progress and findings. A great deal of scientific information was published as a result of the trip. For example, College Fjord was discovered during the expedition. Harriman chartered a luxury ship, the George W. Elder, for a scientific vacation to Alaska. For the purpose of studying flora and fauna of Alaska, Harriman invited prominent scientists of the period to accompany him, including John Burroughs, John Muir, George Bird Grinnell, Clinton Hart Merriam, G. K. Gilbert, Edward S. Curtis, William Healey Dall, and William Emerson Ritter. " CH552A ; 244 pages .
