Biographical Sketch: Allen Arthur Wright was born in Toronto in 1916. He served six years with the Royal Canadian Engineers during World War II. He became involved in various highway construction and surveying projects in the north. He and his wife settled in in 1958, where he worked on federal highway projects. He was the Pipeline Co-ordinator for the Territorial Government, and used his knowledge as a consulting engineer when he was an alderman on the Whitehorse City Council. His interest in history led him to write his first book "Prelude to Bonanza", which was published in 1976 by Gray's Publishing Ltd. He was involved in many other historical research projects, including a history of Kluane National Park, and writing columns for the Whitehorse Star. Allen Wright died in Whitehorse, October 18, 1983. His wife retired to Victoria.
