Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Alaska in 1900 was unexplored frontier, a land where risk, danger, and ultimate adventure made teamwork essential. Maine native R. Harvey Sargent led the U. S. Geological Survey in Alaska for over three decades, 19011936, charting the vast expanses of this remarkably beautiful and treacherous land. A pioneer of modern mapping, Sargent introduced 20thcentury firsts: photogrammetry and aerial surveys in Alaska, and the first professional surveys of Chinas mountainous interior.Mapping the Frontier: A Memoir of Discovery from Coastal Maine to the Alaskan Rim publishes for the first time Harvey Sargents diary of his explorations in the worlds outer edges, from China to Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Montana, and Alaska. He was the son of a sea captain, born with exploration and adventure in his veins. Grounded in the foundations of his childhood home of Sedgwick, Maine, to his family residence for a halfcentury with USGS in Washington, D. C., Sargents lively narrative is beautifully illustrated with period maps and photographs. The reader will experience the breathtaking majesty of the Grand Canyon; the deadly harsh winters of Utahs dessert; misty fjords and dramatic icebergs of Glacier Bay National Park; and Sargents discovery of Alaskas Aniakshak crater, today the countrys most remote National Monument and Preserve.
