While he intended to work among the Tlingit tribes of Yakutat, he found himself in a wave of foreign arrivals as migrants poured into Alaska seeking economic opportunities and the chance at a different life. While Johnson came with pious intentions, others imposed Western values and vices, leaving disease and devastation in their wake.Seventeen Years in Alaska is Johnson's eyewitness account of this tumu 410 0$aRasmuson Library historical translation series ;$vvolume 16. 606 $aTlingit Indians$xMissions$zAlaska$zYakutat Bay Region 606 $aTlingit Indians$zAlaska$zYakutat Bay Region$xSocial life and customs 606 $aMissionaries$zAlaska$zYakutat Bay Region$vBiography 606 $aMissionaries$zSweden$vBiography 607 $aSweden$2fast 607 $aAlaska$zYakutat Bay Region$2fast 607 $aAlaska$2fast 608 $aBiographies. 608 $aHistory. 608 $aBiographies. 608 $acollective biographies. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTlingit Indians$xMissions 615 0$aTlingit Indians$xSocial life and customs. 615 10$aMissionaries 615 0$aMissionaries 676 $a979.8004/9727 700 $aJohnson$b Albin$f1865-1947,$01574124 702 $aEhrlander$b Mary 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792165003321 996 $aSeventeen years in Alaska$93850201 997 $aUNINA
