Skagway in Days Primeval

These are the writings of Moore 1886 - 1904, from his diaries kept while growing up on a homestead in what was to become Skagway. He writes of the adventures of his father, a Captain who traveled to the Northwest via Cape Horn and who hauled passengers and freight up the rivers in western Canada before homesteading. These diaries, the originals of which are in the UAF library, also offer insight into the Klondike gold rush of the late nineteenth century.
