About this listen
As a boy of nineteen, Carl Lomen went with his father on a summer "vacation" to Nome, where the gold rush of 1900 was in full swing. Before long, somewhat to their own surprise, the whole Lomen family had moved from Minnesota to Alaska, that fast-developing land of friendly people and unlimited resources. The resource of greatest interest to the Lomens was reindeer! In the development of a vast reindeer industry they saw a future for Alaska and the Eskimo people; and to the promotion of this unique enterprise they gave their utmost in energy, vision, and backing.
The Lomen story is one of business ups and downs; of huge ventures for huge stakes; of bureaucratic bungling in Washington; of personal loyalties adhered to; and above all, of adventure—man against nature in the great tradition, A truly American story of daring, danger, and long odds.
Carl Lomen’s family have long been prominent in the business affairs of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Mr. Lomen at present resides in Seattle, where his business interests, still centered in Alaska, include mining equipment, coal and lumber, and representing Standard Oil in Alaska.
