Alaskana?

While on this trip to Alaska, I learned the name for antiques and historical oddities regarding the 49th state in the union.  The term is...ALASKANA.  What a great term!  I love this state, both for its psyche and its story heritage.

I recently visited the Anchorage Museum, which is absolutely top shelf, and a must visit if you are here in central Alaska.  It has a reciprocal membership with many other Science Museums across the country, and if you have supported one of those through membership (as I have), you may even be able to get in for free!

There, I learned about an early Alaskan bush pilot named Joe Crosson, who had a book written about him entitled 'Mercy Pilot, The Joe Crosson Story', by Dick Tordof.  But what I am really interested in is that he was featured in a 1941 issue of True Comics (issue #4).  I am looking for a copy now, so let me know if you can hook a brother up!
