The Stained Glass Dog Team: The Mystery Behind a Craftsman's Contribution to the History of Seattle - Paperback

by Helen Hegener (Author)

"It dates from about 1910 and until some time in the 1980s it was part of the Alaskan Cigar Store in the building that was originally the old Arctic Club. . . . Two companion stained glass pieces are still there, but they are less interesting." With that bit of information the search was on for the history of the compelling image of a sled dog team in stained glass. The story involved two social organizations, three hotels, and peripheral forays into the Klondike gold rush, the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, Seattle's Museum of History and Industry, and a fascinating look at the unique forces which helped shape the city of Seattle and the futures of Alaska and the Yukon Territory.
