Historical Landmarks
RECENTLY ANNOUNCEMENT was made of seven areas in
Alaska having been made American historical landmarks
through action taken by the Interior Department.
The oldest is Erskine House at Kodiak built by Alexander
Baranof in 1793 and also included were the fur seal rookeries on
St. Paul Island which produced 6 million seal skins at a value of
$75 million between 1786 to 1909; the boom town of Skagway and
several landmarks at Sitka.
It is important that the most famous gold rush of all rime
and probably the best known in history be listed among these
American historical landmark. Either the City of Nome or some
other civic body should set up a committee to take the proper steps
to accomplish the task. There are a few of the first buildings still
standing which should be marked as well as several sites of im
portance including the location of the first ten original claims
where the Nome strike started.
The Nugget would welcome letters from old residents with
suggestions of place which should be included in these landmarks
under the Mission 66 Program.
