There is not much mention of Captain James Cook making it out alive after his trip of 1778 through the icy and danagerous waters of the Artic Ocean.
Why talk about this, well, being a company that speaks of historical and colorful characters of the goldrush, it is approriate to draw some attention to other note worthy events that have touched Alaska. However, Captain Cook certainly is not as colorful of a Character as those from the goldrush, but, I'm sure that he had many oolorful accounts to report. Alaska in many cases seems to be elusive to many from the lower 48 states and Canada.
Anchorage attorney and former Assemblyman James Barnett has recently written a book "Captain Cook in Alaska and the North Pacific". Mr. Barnett's research was extensive on the subject.
230 years ago tomorrow will be the aniversary of Captain James Cook in Alaska as stated in the Anchorage Daily News.
