The Life and activities section is very confusing.

His father was John "Jack" Dalton (June 25, 1856 in Bruce County/Ontario – December 16, 1944 in San Francisco) who in 1880 migrated from Canada to Alaska. There he[who?] was responsible for the construction of the toll-trail Dalton Trail.

Who constructed the Dalton Trail, the article subject or his father?

His son James contributed to the reconstruction of the Tanana Valley Railroad. In 1937, his[who?] studies at the University of Alaska Fairbanks resulted in the graduation as a mining engineer. During 1953, he discovered substantial gas- and oilfields of "high quality" in the North Slope which resulted in an extensive report published in June, 1954. Around the region of Prudhoe Bay further prospecting found the largest oil fields of the US.

This paragraph reads like these are all achievements by his son. Please rewrite to avoid ambiguity. Schazjmd (talk) 18:20, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
