In 1899, industrialist Edward Harriman organized a crew of scientists, writers and artists to visit the Alaska coast.

Organized by Smith College in Maine and supported by a number of organizations, schools and companies, a recreation of the route taken was made last year. Native villages in both Alaska and Russia were part of the tour, which will be the subject of a PBS documentary "The Harriman Alaska Expedition Retraced."

A companion book is being released.
