Yanert, William.
William Yanert (1864-1942) came to Alaska with the U.S. Army. He stayed on after his discharge in 1899, becoming a trapper and explorer. He and his brother settled in Purgatory, on the Yukon River, in 1903. The river steamers would stop in Purgatory for wood and Yanert became friends with many of Alaska's pioneers. Yanert trapped, wrote poetry, carved ivory, and enjoyed his life along the Yukon.
