Juneau, Silver Bow Basin, and Douglass Island Mines

"The town of Juneau straggles along the beach and scatters itself after a broken, rectangular plan, up a ravine that opens to the water front. Lying at the foot of a vertical mountain-wall, with slender cascades rolling like silver ribbons from the clouds and snow-banks overhead, and sheltered in a curve of the still channel, Juneau has the most picturesque situation of any town on the coast."
(1885 Alaska, Its Southern Coast and the Sitkan Archipelago)
