Photograph
Two gold seekers in their tent, circa 1902
Order an ImageMany of the gold seekers and others who poured into the Yukon and Alaska lived in tents, at least for a short time. Photos of tent interiors are relatively unusual, however.
In this photo, two men sit on cots in a tent while they enjoy a conversation. Two rifles hang below the makeshift shelf which is crowded with tools and other belongings. Animal skins hang from the top of the tent and a pair of tall boots dries on the floor below a small table. The photo was probably taken in Alaska or the Yukon Territory sometime between 1897 and 1906.
Original inventory lists photographer as Frank H. Nowell.
