On Traveling to Alaska...

"There is one word of advice to be given those intending to visit Alaska for pleasure, for sightseeing. If you are old, go by all means. But if you are young, wait. The scenery of Alaska is much grander than anything of the kind in the world, and it is not well to dull one's capacity for enjoyment by seeing the finest first." Henry Gannett 1899 Well, there you have it, folks! This must be why we are here... We ARE old and now we are seeing the finest the world has to offer! Mr. Gannet's quote was posted in the Wrangell City Museum.
