Includes rare views of the Mouth of the Stewart River and the Stewart Trail; the Chilkoot Pass; Crater Lake with sledges being assisted over the ice by wind power; mining works; Whitehorse Rapids; Main Street in Dawson; aftermath of various fires in Dawson; etc. The two amateur photographs are each captioned "Camp of Ward, Hough & Co. on Lake La Barge, May 1899" with the miners outside and inside of a tent. These with some fading, as also the Goetzmann photographs. |
| Condition: |
| Some edge chipping to the Goetzmann photos; very good or better. |
