[Elsie]

Big Sam left Seattle in the year of '92
With George Pratt, his partner, and brother Billy too
They crossed the Yukon River and found the Bonanza gold
Below that old white mountain, just a little South-East of Nome

Sam crossed the Majestic mountains to the valleys far below
He talked to his team of Huskies as he mushed on through the snow
With the Northern lights a-runnin' wild in the Land of the Midnight Sun
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of '91                                  https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Johnny-Horton/North-to-Alaska

Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too
They crossed the Yukon river and they found the bonanza gold
Below that old white mountain
Just a little south-east of Nome

Sam crossed the Majestic mountains to the valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskies
As he mushed on through the snow
With the northen lights a-runnin' wild
In the land of the midnight sun
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man
In the year of nineteen-one                          https://www.lyrics.com/lyric/35734287/North+to+Alaska

Yes, nineteen one.

In the land of the midnight sun

I passed through Alaska, on the way to Vietnam. It was 3 AM, and the sun was shining brightly. It was weird.
