Describing her as a character Horatio Alger might have created, Mayer, who wrote Klondike Women, and DeArmond, a historian and journalist in Sitka, describe how Irish-born Mulrooney (1872-1967) migrated to the US and became a trader, then pioneered in the wilds of the Yukon basin, founded town and businesses, built two fortunes, supported her family, and was an ally to other working women.
