Strange Things - - -
By Heinie Snider
Dr. Will Chase, grand his
torian of Pioneers of Alaska
tells us that life was grim
along the Southwest coast of
Alaska when prehistoric ances
tors of the Indians lived there.
Reconstruction of ancient re
rains by Dr. Hideloka, anthro
pologist, gave evidence that
when a mother died her child
was killed and buried with her.
Slaves and captured enemies
were burned. Remains of a
massacre, including a woman’s
skeleton, with a bone dagger
through the heart; a warrior’s
skull with a stone club embed
ded and another skull with a
stone arrow point at the base
of the brain, all attest to the re
searchers theory.
Among our most distinguish
ed pioneers, of which there
are many, we find, to name but
a few, J. F. A. Strong, gover
nor and journalist; A. J. Dia
mond, delegate to Congress
Sidney Lawrence, artist; Jack
London, author; Captain Aus
tin Lathrop, industrialist; Dr.
J. H. Romig, early medical
missionary worker and M. D.
Snodgrass, agriculturist.
