Adventures of an early 1900s family in a gold mining town north of the Arctic Circle: Candle Creek, Alaska. Matriarch Stella Holmes Fox, a dynamic lady of her time, taught school, led her dog sled team, and raised a family while working with her husband finding gold in untamed wilderness. Stella's journal and photography express emotion for her companions and friendships from this isolated land lasting a lifetime. Her family returns to the lower 48 in 1923 after being trapped by an early freeze and rescued from death by the Coast Guard ship Algonquin. Once a Sourdough, Always a Sourdough! is a must read for Alaskan pioneer historians.
