Description |
The same photograph was published on page 277 of the "Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen's Magazine," Volume 29 and the June 1900 issue of "Harper's Weekly." The woman's identity is unknown. Gold was discovered in the area in the summer of 1898 prospectors rushed to stake claims and Nome's population quickly ballooned to 10,000 people. In 1899, more gold was discovered on beaches near the town and spurred an even greater rush of visitors. By 1900, an estimated 1000 people a day were arriving in Nome. Pillsbury took some of the first available photographs of the city. Following his departure, the winter conditions made it too difficult for others to reach the area.; The Belle of Cape Nome. Sept. 28. 99. [Symbol.] 637.; Exact location unknown. General Nome location provided. |
