Description
English: Caption on image: "Front Street, Sheep Camp. c1897" Depicts Jack London and fellow travelers Jim Goodman, Fred Thompson and Martin Tarwater . "Front Street at Sheep Camp settlement. This is the principal camp on the Dyea Trail. In August and September there were a thousand or more people encamped here. The log structure on the left was the leading hotel where you might eat for 75 cents and sleep on the floor for 50 cents, if you furnished your own bedding. Beyond here a meal could not be had at any price. This is right on the edge of what is known as the timber line. Thence to the other side is about ten miles. In all the district there is not sufficient wood to heat a cup of coffee, so you are obilged to carry your own wood of you want to camp within that distance." (Frank La Roche, En Route to the Klondike, 1898) Klondike Gold Rush.
