Cordova Alaska

Postcard photo of First St. in 'downtown' Cordova, between 1915-1918. Postcard dated July 26, 1918 and was sent by George Benning to his father, William J. Benning who was living in Pueblo, Colorado. Per back of postcard, George says "...this is where we are now..wonderful country; the streets don't look like this, but the mountains do. There are some pretty lakes right close here, too. Am going big game hunting soon. I like my ship fine". George was serving in the Navy on the USS Saturn at the time he wrote the postcard.
