 | | More than just a handsome face, Wickersham was a natural leader who left a lasting imprint on Alaska in all sorts of arenas: politics, history, literature, gold mining-even mountaineering. |
 | | Somehow, he found the time to compile two important references-A Bibliography of Alaskan Literature, 1724-1929 and the seven-volume Alaska Territory Law Reports-and write an engaging memoir of his Alaska life, Old Yukon: Tales, Trails and Trials. |
 | | In climbing circles, though, he is best known as leader of the first mountaineering expedition to 20,320-foot Mount McKinley, also known by the Athabascan name, Denali. |
