AUTHOR’S NOTE: Part One introduced William N. “Bill” Dawson as a spinner of yarns who came to the Kenai Peninsula in the 1890s and became a trophy hunter mostly in the Skilak Lake area. In the winter of 1897-98, he frostbit his feet so badly that all the toes on one foot required amputation.
Turnout among central Kenai Peninsula voters in Tuesday’s primary election was higher than in the 2020, 2018 and 2016 state primaries, data from the Alaska Division of Election show.
