Biographies Of Alaska-Yukon Pioneers 1850-1950 Volume 4 compiled and edited by Ed Ferrell

This work fills a void by making obscure and unindexed material available to researchers in Alaskan and Canadian history and genealogy. Rich in Northwest history, this volume should appeal to researchers in the West and Northwest whose ancestors may have been Alaska-Yukon immigrants. Seattle, Portland and San Francisco were points of departure and return, and many immigrants settled in those cities after trying their luck on the frontier. Volume 4 contains more than 400 biographies, alphabetically arranged and full of fascinating information. The majority of these early Alaskans came to the territory between 1880 and 1910.

The main sources used for this compilation were newspaper obituaries and magazine articles. Each biography is followed by one or more citations naming the publication from which the information was obtained and listing the original date of publication.
