The American Schooner Ounalaska is a historical account of the voyage of the schooner Ounalaska, which was commissioned by the United States government in 1888 to explore the waters of Alaska and the Bering Sea. The book was written by Grover Cleveland, who was the President of the United States at the time of the expedition.The book provides a detailed description of the voyage, including the crew's encounters with the native peoples of Alaska, their exploration of the Bering Sea, and their observations of the wildlife and natural resources of the region. The author also includes his own reflections on the importance of the expedition and the potential benefits that could be gained from increased exploration and development of Alaska.Throughout the book, Cleveland emphasizes the importance of the United States' role in the exploration and development of Alaska, and argues that the country has a responsibility to ensure that the region is properly managed and protected. He also highlights the potential economic benefits that could be gained from increased trade and commerce with Alaska, and suggests that the country should work to establish closer ties with the native peoples of the region.Overall, The American Schooner Ounalaska is a fascinating and informative account of an important moment in American history, and provides valuable insights into the country's relationship with Alaska and the Bering Sea.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
