St. Michael, Alaska, circa 1900
Order an ImageThe town of St. Michael, Alaska, is 124 miles southeast of Nome and around 85 miles from the mouth of the Yukon River. It was settled by Russian fur traders in 1835. In 1898 and 1899, Klondike gold seekers who could afford it sailed to St. Michael and rode a steamboat over 400 miles up the Yukon to the gold fields. This trade shrank after the building of the White Pass and Yukon Route railway from Skagway.
