Additional Details

In his book, Winderness, Kent describes his desire to record the stories of a gold prospector and Alaskan pioneer L.M. Olson, whom he befriended during his stay in Alaska between 1918 and 1920. The timeline entry for 1869 is "Came to America," which is consistent with the age given for Olson in the book.
