With the United States troops sent to in 1868, following its purchase from Russia the preceding year, was Eli Lundy first lieutenant, Second Artillery, a twenty-five-yearold veteran of the Civil War. For more than two years, except for a trip to San Francisco in the spring of 1870, Lieutenant Huggins was stationed in Alaska, principally on Kodiak Island. While there he carefully observed the customs of the inhabitants, and a few years later, while serving as professor of military science and tactics and instructor in French at the University of Minnesota, he wrote a series of thirteen articles which, under the title of Men and Things in Alaska was printed in the Citizen, a weekly paper published in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The article presented here consists of excerpts from this series. Further details of Huggins' life, including a few of his letters written from Alaska, are to be found in an article by Carolyn Thomas Foreman, General Eli Lundy Huggins, in Chronicles of Oklahoma, XIII (1935), 255-265
