If anyone would like to know "the...Thank you! If anyone would like to know "the rest of the story??" Elizabeth Tower wrote a wonderful book called Icebound Empire in the mid 1990's. It gave a wonderful compilation of the lives of three men, George Cheever Hazelet, his close friend Stephen Birch and Captain David Henry Jarvis. This book may be out of print, however if anyone is interested I may be able to find a few copies. It really tells the story of the early movers and shakers that laid the ground work for the development of the Great Alaskan Territory as we know it today. Hazelet was just one soul that fell in love with this last frontier.
