|
|
a. |
Location: Tanana, interior Alaska on the north banks of the Yukon River about |
|
|
|
two miles west of the of the confluence of the Tanana River with the Yukon River. |
|
|
|

Tanana was previously the site of Fort Adams (1868-1869), an American trading |
|
|
|
post. Originally Fort Gibbon troops supported the telegraph line from Fairbanks |
|
|
|
to Nome. Later, in 1908, the telegraph line was abandoned for wireless [radio] |
|
|
|
communications. Fort Gibbon became a wireless station at that time. |
