Return to Index History & History Related Items Fairbanks history: In 1901, Elbridge Truman Barnette left the sternwheeler, Lavelle Young, along with his trade goods, to begin his business. The spot would later become Fairbanks. It started when he wanted to build a trading post at Tanacross and eventually wrecked his own steamer. It was then that he hired Charles Adams, captain of the Lavelle Young, to take him to Tanacross. None of the other captains thought he could take a boat to Tanacross, but when offered enough money, Adams thought he would try. Though Adams attempted to go up the Tanana,he couldn't get through the Bates Rapids. They then changed course to go up the Chena River because Barnette thought it might connect back with the Tanana after the rapids. After a few miles, the river ran too shallow as had the Tanana. Barnette finally decided to try out a high and dry bank area for some cabins and a trading post. It was ony a year later that gold was discovered by Felix Pedro only 12 miles north of Barnette's location. The rest is history. Barnette remained here and founded Fairbanks. He became a rich banker and businessman, but his success didn't come without a price. Some people felt he was a brilliant businessman while others felt he was a con man who obtained his wealth through deceit. Later, it was found that he had served time in Oregon for theft. Many people felt their distrust of him was now justified. His bank failed while he was away, confirming the suspicions of his accusers. Though he returned to try to work things out, the city had finally turned completely against him. He and his family left town in 1911 to flee the disgruntled depositors. Only a few days later, it was decided to file charges against him. He stood trial in Valdez in 1912 and was cleared of all charges. Many still felt him guilty and envisioned him living in luxury the rest of his life in Mexico. But he actually lived in Los Angeles and died in 1933 after falling down stairs and breaking his neck.
