It’s the peak of tourism season in Alaska, so we’re reading letters from tourists in our holdings! Tour guide Becky Butler Gallegos will give you a quick overview of various tourism routes in Alaska. We’ll hear from folks traveling the Inside Passage, through the Interior, and even out to Western Alaska.
The collections we read from this month are the Louise letters, the New York tourist travel diary, the John Kay and Marianna Lee Hardcastle letter, and the William L. Horton postcards.
