Biographical History
John Holmes Scott went with the gold rush to Nome, Alaska, at the turn of the twentieth century. Rather than mining, he opened a restaurant called Scotty's Beanery. In World War I, he went with the Canadian Expedition to Vladivostock. He was mentioned in Raymond Massey's autobiography as one of the theatrical performers (Scottish songs). He became interested in collecting furs and in training sledge dogs. He took a number of teams to California, where they appeared in many of the Warner Bros. films about the North that came out in the 1920s. He died in California ca. 1950.
