註釋"The book focuses on the role of the commissioner from the creation of the position in 1898, when it was the most influential post in the administration of the territory, to the present day, and the evolution of the role to one of a figurehead, more like a provincial lieutenant governor. Johnson conducted lengthy interviews with the 10 most recent commissioners and their families, and combined this with research of records of their terms of office to create fascinating first-person narratives of their lives and careers. The 333 pages are illustrated with 126 well chosen photographs, although the size of some of them and the quality of the reproduction of others take away some of the impact the images convey. At the back are two appendices: one is a list of the senior officials of the territory from 1894 to the present, the other is a map of the territory. There is a selected bibliography as well as an index to make searching the subject matter much simpler for the reader."--Www.yukon-news.com/opinions/columns/29338.
