Atkins also describes his stint as President Grover Cleveland's appointee as Marshal of the District of Alaska from 1885 to 1889. This is the complete book with all text and all illustrations. A painstaking effort was made to meticulously convert page scans of the original publication into text. It was then set using Adobe InDesign and Adobe Photoshop into a clean, easy-to-read paperback book. This paperback edition is the only version that has been restored. The book contains several passages considered to be racially insensitive.
