Biography

Oscar Ohman was a charter member of the Pioneers of Alaska, Juneau Men’s Igloo.

He was born in Sweden in April of 1859. Ohman immigrated to the United States in 1879 and came to Alaska the same year during the early years of the territory’s mining development.

By 1900, he was living in Douglas, Alaska, where he worked as a saloon keeper serving the growing mining community across the Gastineau Channel from Juneau.
