Case & Draper created this composite entitled “Pioneers of Alaska” in 1908.  It is in the William R. Norton collection at the State Library in Juneau in the Historical Section.  It can be viewed in Library only, between 10 am & 4:30 pm.  The call number is 0226.  There is some written information in the main photo in the center, and all of the smaller photos are numbered.  If someone is willing to go to the library and determine the names of all these folks, and the copy in the center, we would put a good word into Santa for you.  Please e-mail information to:  DoreneMLorenz at aol dot com.  It is a good guess that these may be the first to join the Pioneers of Alaska, Igloo No. 1.

First Meeting of the 87 Alaska Pioneers January 25, 1908, Juneau, Alaska.  Although this is not the Pioneers of Alaska, it is fair to suggest that many of our early Juneau members may also be in this photo.  Photo taken by W.H. Ease.
