bioghist: label: Biographical/Historical note
content: Alice Rollins Crane (ca. 1861-1929) was a dog sledder and amateur anthropologist in the Yukon and Klondike region.  She married L. P. Crane in Los Angeles in 1894 and about four years later the couple moved to Dawson City in the Yukon, probably as part of the Klondike gold rush.  In 1903, she remarried, this time to Victor Morajeski, and moved with him to Colorado and then the Tucson area, where they owned and operated a silver mine.  Crane wrote about her experience in the Yukon in "Our Klondike Success," published in Wide World Magazine in 1901, and "Smiles and Tears from the Klondyke," published in New York by Doxey's at the Sign of the Lark.
