Levi Box 241467 Anchorage, Alaska 99524 Phone: 907-337-2021 Fax: 907-337-4485 Email: afscl@alaska.edu I am looking for information, documentation, and publications of George Hinton Henry, a radical newspaper editor of the Alaska Gold Rush era. He published seven newspapers between 1907 and 1919, was arrested for libel about 20 times. He was finally run out of Alaska in 1919. He was born about 1880 so he was still a young man when he left. I cannot find him the U. S. Census of 1920.
