Why Swanitz Left Valdez Why Swanitz Left Valdez
Col A W Swanitz left the Valdez Yukon railroad after investigators found the firm financially weak and misrepresented funds. The letter reveals Swanitz’s claim that backers knew nothing of railroad business and that collateral tied to Mr Ballaine financed Shedd Brothers loans, contradicting Swanitz’s earlier assurances of funding. Swanitz, now in Seattle, says he left due to the lack of financial standing and faulty management.
