White Sox, the story of the reindeer in Alaska

William Thomas Lopp

William Thomas Lopp, known better professionally as W. T. Lopp, and to his family as Tom Lopp, was a member of the Overland Relief Expedition in Alaska, then a U.S. territory. He was a missionary and advocate of turning native hunters into self-sufficient reindeer herders. Lopp Lagoon, an 18 mi (29 km) long bay near where Lopp lived in Alaska, is named after him.
