Biography
Jack Dalton was a freighter and trader active in the Haines area of Alaska. In 1894, with backing from John Maloney, Dalton acquired land from the widow of George Dickinson, the first trader in the area.
Dalton built a warehouse and a store on the Dickinson tract and later constructed the Hotel Haines. He continued operating his freight business while leaving hotel management to Jack Lindsay.
