Here’s that photo that I posted before, it was mislabeled to be Heney in the middle, but actually that charming mug is the governor, Wilford Bacon Hoggatt! This is a scan from the same book, Grit, Grief and Gold by Whiting.
Stories and Folklore from Skagway, Alaska
I have a number of photos of my grandfather, Wilford Bacon Hoggatt, at the Jualin Mine and as Governor of Alaska. I am trying to get more information about his mining activities and wonder if Skagway Stories has information you might be able to share.
Thank you!
Hi, I posted the following comment which is intended for you hope it all works for you. – Marlene
Hello, I am writing a history of the Jualin Mine which will include a section on your grandfather. I’m wondering if you might be willing to share some of your photos of your grandfather at the mine? I would be more than happy to provide you a copy of the finished report which should give you a better idea of your grandfather’s role.
I will forward your message to the previous commentor, hope she replies to you, good luck. – Marlene
Thank you very much Marlene!
