COOGAN story appearing in the "Geographic Dictionary of Alaska"
(1906, PAGE 157):


Camp Coogan; bay, indenting the eastern shore of Sitka sound,
Baranof island, Alexander archipelago.  Named after Michael 
Coogan, of Battery I, Second United States Artillery, who in
August 1871, was reported "on extra duty in Quartermaster's
Department in charge of wood party."  Coogan had a wood-cutting
camp here and the bay was named after him.  Erroneously published
as Camp Kogan and Camp Cogan.  From the description, it is not
certain what bay is intended.  It may be either Kadiak bay of
Tebenkof, 1849 (Nachleslhusia of Vasillef, 1809), or Lisefskaia
bay of Tebenkof, 1849 (Aleutkina of Vasillef, 1809).  See 
Aleutkina.

Camp Kogan, bay: see Camp Coogan.
