Richard Meade was captain of a steamship that spent 4 months in Southeast in 1868 and 1869. I’ve created a digital version of his journal, adding maps, Shorezone oblique images, and natural-&-cultural history footnotes. It was Meade on the warship Saginaw who destroyed villages and forts near Kake, in February, 1869. His maps and journals shed light on that encounter, as well as locations of fish camps, forts, and cultural sites known from oral accounts but imprecisely mapped.
