Two journalists, one male and one female, each from Northwest Washington. Each was successful in the contiguous United States. Each came to Alaska in 1913 seeking greater notoriety by covering the Chisana gold stampede. Although Chisana ultimately proved a disappointment, Bostwick and Sawyer tried to build a future in Alaska. Both were gifted self-promoters but, ultimately, the fame they sought proved as scant and ethereal as Chisana gold.
