Making corrections on egregious errors! I've gotten Skagway mixed up with Juneau. Oh, the horror! So I'm going back and fixing up the blog and putting the right names on the Skagway photos. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
Skagway: "It is the drama of '97 and '98 that fills this town. Skagway blossomed for but a few years, lawless and rough, then almost disappeared."
"The gaunt-faced men have passed through to whatever fate The North had in store for them. But the town the boom built at the jumping-off place for the Klondike remains, looking much as it did in 1897 and 1898, when some 80 saloons and many professional women were anxious to serve the lonely men on the trail north." from The Alaska Cruise Handbook.
