- Notes
- For Jewish traders, see p. 511 ("Wandering Jews are not unknown here, by the way; but they appear to have degenerated from the ancient stock, and have a sharp eye for business; buying of the greasy Túski their stores of whalebone, oil, and walrus-tusks, and making them happy with tobacco, powder and ball, guns, knives, kettles, and the vilest of alcoholic concoctions"). On p. 241, a reference to German Jews and Russians as homesteaders on St. George Island, part of the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea.
