White Pass, Klondike Gold Rush NHP, Alaska

description

Summary

White Pass, Klondike Gold Rush NHP, Alaska January 15, 1899, dawned bright and cold when, according to the Daily Alaskan, the first official passenger train left Skagway : The officials of the railroad company from the water front to the summit are jolly good fellows and entertainers of rare merit. They believe in making a good railroad and accommodating the people first. ..Yesterday a number of the officials of Alaska and members of the legal fraternity took a trip over the picturesque White Pass railways … It was a sight that only a few have had the good fortune to witness, outside of the thousands of workmen who labor on the great enterprise…(from A Wild Discouraging Mess by Julie Johnson)
