Riassunto

This issue features the writings of Alaska’s territorial judge for the 3rd District, James Wickersham, whose well-kept diaries provide an open window into life on the last frontier in the earliest years of its existence. Also in this issue: A tale told in a hut in France during WWI, by the Rev. George C. F. Pringle, an inveterate storyteller who spent nine years in the Yukon ministering weddings, funerals, and more; the history of the once self-dumping Lake George, now a National Natural Landscape; The third chapter of Book Ten in Robert Service’s autobiography, “Ploughman of the Moon,” in which he joins fellow travelers on the Rat River in Canada’s Northwest Territories; a tribute to the sled dogs of pioneer Alaska, hardy champions of North County travel; and the story of Sergeant William Yanert, U.S. Army 6th Cavalry, who explored the Chilkoot Trail before it was known by that name and blazed the first trail from the Nenana River near Denali north to the Tanana River.
