This book chronicles how the 19th century federal bureaucracy tried to fashion a government that would work, with an emphasis on criminal law beginning with the first officers sent to the territory and concluding with the judicial structure that resulted after Alaska's statehood. Hunt covers the scandals that took place, political favoritism and corruption during Alaska's territorial years. He also discusses memorable characters and stories. Contains b&w photos, drawings and index.
