This postcard uses one of the more popular views of Skagway. The card, published by Edw. H. Mitchell of San Francisco, was mailed from Skagway in July 1913.
One of Skagway's claims to fame in the early years of Alaska tourism was as the "garden center of Alaska." This card was published by Lowman & Hanford of Seattle.
"Tourists revel in the glories of Alaska Sunsets, which can be seen nowhere to better advantage than in the heart of the mountain range, at Skagway."
