Description |
English: Gold seekers who were headed to the Klondike gold fields via White Pass landed in Skagway, Alaska. The weather and the conditions on the White Pass Trail were so bad that people sometimes got stuck in Skagway for several days before they could head north. Businesses in Skagway took advantage of this.
This photo, taken around 1898 by Asahel Curtis, shows a street in Skagway during the gold rush. Boards have been laid down on the muddy street to provide a walkway. Small wooden buildings are interspersed with tents. Clancy's Saloon sits prominently on the right. Part of a sign advertising life insurance can be seen at the upper far left.
