Published on May 4, 2020

Alaskan History Magazine

This March-April, 2020 issue features a wide range of Alaskan history, from some of the first photographs of Alaska, by the odd photographer Eadweard Muybridge, to the earliest settlers at Valdez, to an adventuresome lady musher who blazed trails where today’s Alaska Highway crosses the northern landscape. Also in this issue: Dr. Gary Stein shares letters penned in 1894 by physician James Taylor White, who wrote them to his mother while serving as surgeon aboard the U.S. Revenue Cutter Bear. A contentious disagreement over the geographic boundaries between the southeastern part of the territory of Alaska and Canada. The explorations of an Indian scout in Alaska: Luther Sage "Yellowstone" Kelly, by Dr. Thomas Eley.
