Description

The crookedest street in Fairbanks, an Alaskan sourdough once said, is rightly named for the town founder E. T. Barnette. Crooked Past, Terrence Cole’s energetic history of Fairbanks examines one in every of Alaska’s most notorious con men. Barnette, a footloose fortune hunter who had served time in an Oregon penitentiary, came north throughout the Klondike gold rush of 1897-1898. He struck it wealthy after founding the town of Fairbanks within the early 1900s. Yet not up to ten years later he used to be run out of the territory and allegedly disappeared in Mexico, becoming probably the most hated man within the the town he founded and fled.
