Buchanan and His Boys See Alaska Plan for Detroit Youth
George E. Buchanan of Detroit piloted the Alaska trip concept for boys with a 1925 program. About 46 youths went in 1925, and 160 more will sail July 1925 on a Canadian Pacific steamer to Skagway to explore White Pass and Yukon sites. The cost is 375 dollars per boy, funded one third by the boy, one third by parents, and one third by Buchanan as a loan repayable later. Boys earn money locally by selling baskets and other items and learn business while maintaining school obligations. Buchanan envisions a diverse group from many nationalities to foster understanding.
