Skagway Alaska

Every Bead is made with Earth gathered from Skagway, AK

Skagway is also known as the “Gateway to the Klondike,” a reference to the famous Gold Rush to the Yukon of the late 19th century. The most famous resident of Skagway is Soapy Smith, a villain of the gold rush days. Skagway and Dyea competed for the Rushers' dollars. Skagway won, mostly because of its better harbor and the creation of the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad.
