 Blair and Eikland bought the old Jacob Dolan trading post at Snag in 1945 after Dolan died. They ran it for about three years. They brought groceries in from Dawson on the boats in the summer. They had a team of horses and a big garden with turnips, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. Most of the harvest was given to First Nation people in the village and some was kept in a root cellar for the winter.((Charles Eikland interview with Stacey Carkhuff, 2018 web site: “Charles Eikland, 10 November 2008, Destruction Bay, Yukon Territory.
