Kodiak Island
“I feel as if I wanted to go back, to Kodiak. Almost as if I could return there to live. So secluded, so remote, so peaceful; such a mingling of the domestic, the pastoral, the sylvan, with the wild and the rugged; such emerald heights, such flowery vales, such blue arms and recesses of the sea, and such a vast green solitude stretching away to the west, and to the north and to the south.
Bewitching Kodiak! The spell of thy summer freshness and placidity is still upon me.”
John Burroughs, Alaska: The Harriman Expedition, 1899
