Reindeer Profits Limited by Alaska Travel Needs
Charles Elliott, after six years in Alaska, says reindeer are unfit for sled hauling due to slow pace and forage needs.

Elliott favors reindeer use for fur, hides, and meat, not transport, and critiques Lapland reindeer practices. He plans eastward lectures and notes a name change due to pronunciation.
