WICKERSHAM PREPARING
HISTORY OF NORTHLAND
Work on the history of Alaska
under preparation by James Wicker
sham, former congressional repre
sentative to congress, is being de
layed on account of lack of fire
proof quarters at Juneau for stor
age of the many historical publica
tions used in preparation.
Judge Wickersham who spent the
holidays in Seattle told a represen
tative of the Seattle Alaska Dispatch
it will probably be 1924 before the
indexing for the history work will
be complete, after which date the
; work will be hurried.
The first Alaska exploitation was
ordered by Peter the Great, and it
will be from that date the Alaska
historical review will start. The
first edition will cover all the period
between this first conquest of Alas
ka up to the time of the transfer
to America.
For many years Judge Wicker
sham has searched into world-wide
records indexed 19.000 printed rec
ords dealing with Alaska history.
There has been during the past
many stirring romances weaved
around Alaska, and the conquest
of the N'ort'n by Russians, Spaniards
and others will be accurately told
in the Wickersham history.
