AUTHOR’S NOTE: In the early 1920s in New York’s rural Oneida County, the Browne, Cole and Ingersoll families became acquainted. The Coles were raising foxes at Alder Creek. The Brownes were operating a dairy farm in Remsen. And teenagers Marion Ingersoll (from Steuben) and Milton Cole were falling in love. In the mid- to late 1920s, the Brownes and Coles hatched a plan to move to Kasilof, Alaska, acquire a homestead and start fox farming there.
