Alaskans Tidbits
The Alaskan Gold Rush of the 1890s brought Silky, Reno and Rocky to Skagway, Alaska in search of riches. Since hunting for gold proved too strenuous for them, they found other ways of making a living. Rocky sang in the saloon of bad guy Nifty Cronin. Silky and Reno were just a shade shy of honest, but they never did any serious harm.
