Book Review

The Fisherman's Frontier: People and Salmon in Southeast Alaska. By David F. Arnold. (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2008. xx, 267 pp. $35.00, ISBN 978-0-295-98788-0.)

This is a wonderful book. Its putative subject is a deceptively narrow one: the history of salmon fisheries in southeastern Alaska. Like the best work in environmental history, however—a class in which the book clearly belongs—it has important things to say about a far bigger slice of human experience than one industry in one out-of-the-way place. It will be useful for teaching and thinking about the environment, Progressive Era government, Indians, the frontier, and several other general areas.
