Based on Jochelson’s 1909-1910 fieldwork with the Aleut, this is the ethnographic continuation of his archaeological investigations.
This volume presents a comprehensive picture of Aleut society a hundred years ago.
“After nearly a century, Jochelson’s works remain the most comprehensive treatment of Aleutian archaeology and ethnography in print. They are an indispensable resource for scholars, but thanks in part to the lavish use of historic photographs they also have great appeal for the lay reader.”—Rick Knecht, Museum of the Aleutians

Please be advised that most of the bidding occurs in the LAST 5 SECONDS of the auction. But beware, if you are the high bidder with 10 seconds to go you probably won't be the high bidder in another 10 seconds. Bid the maximum that you are willing to pay and you will be OK. eBay will only use as much of your bid as is necessary to push you one price increment past the next highest bidder. Ask yourself this question, at what price will you not regret losing the item to a higher bidder. Too often I hear “I should have bid higher”.
