“An Alaskan Road House”; stable, cabins, and tents at the mouth of a mountain valley, a snowy peak framed in the valley. Location not specified. From ‘Alaska the Great Country,’ copyright 1908, MacMillan Co., by Ella Higginson, photographer E.A. Hegg, Juneau

“Under no circumstance should the Alaskan roadhouse be confused with the establishments scattered along the highways on the outside that call themselves ‘roadhouses.’ The Alaskan roadhouse is a trail or roadside hotel. It deserves and has earned the high regard that all Alaskan and northern travelers have for the ‘roadhouse.’ Many tales of heroism and bravery could be told of the daring rescue and relief parties that have been headed by the intrepid roadhouse keepers. Story has it that no stranded man or dog has ever been denied food or shelter by these landlords of the lonely northern trails.” ~William E. Gordon, in Icy Hell (Wm. Brendan & Son, 1937)
