Review Quotes
Alaska History
"The product of three decades of thought, research, and attentive listening....Henry shines a bright light on events that have long been shadowy, half-known....Now, thanks to careful scholarship and his access to Tlingit oral history, we are given a different perspective on familiar events: we are inside the Tlingit world, looking out at the changes happening all around them."
