I Judge James Wickersham Is contem
plating writing a history of t1 o Alaska
territory and may ultimately become
known to posterity as the man who
wrote the first real history of Alaska,
according to a writer in the-Seattle
Times, who recently interviewed Jttdgo
Wickersham in Washington regarding
his history recording inclinations.
"The idea of publishing a real his
tory of Alaska grows on me, and I
would like to have someone do the
work,” the judge said. “We ought to
have at least one real history instead
of i he scattered works that very fow
persons even have seen and probably
nobody has read in their entirety. It
would he a facinating study to go over
the early days and to clear away some
■ >f the myths of Russian occupancy.”
The article says that In his early
life in Tacoma. Judge Wickersham
used to delve into Indian lore and
write historical papers in territorial
days and the times even before Wash
ing became a political unit. During
more recent years he has developed a
hobby for collecting publications on
Alaska and insists he has the most
complete library on the territory in
existence. He is said to have all the
English books and most of those print
ed In other languages. Included in
0
tile library are said to be four rare old
Russian hooks descriptive of the early
days of the Russian occupancy \vl\ich
