Biography
Allen James was a charter member of the Juneau Men’s Igloo.
James came to Juneau in 1899 from Montana. He lived along the Gastineau Channel until the Klondike gold rush, when he joined the stampede into the interior and spent several years mining there.
He later returned to the Juneau area and died in his cabin on Douglas Island on October 29, 1920.
