On October 23, 1918, a storm rose and the Canadian Pacific
steamer "Princess Sophia" ran aground on Vanderbilt Reef, northwest
of Juneau, Alaska. Tragically, there were no survivors. The 353
aboard represented a significant cross-section of the population of
the Yukon and Alaska, and their loss was a heavy blow to a society
that, with the end of the gold rush, was already in decline. This
book tells the dramatic stories of many of the passengers, how they
had gone to the north, what they did there, and why they were
leaving that fall, and sheds light on a little-known aspect of
Alaska's history.
