Title
English: Hungry Man's Retreat restaurant at Porcupine Creek, White Pass Trail, Alaska, 1897.
Description
English: Caption on image: "Hungry Man's Retreat at Porcupine Creek, Skaguay Trail. c1897" "Hungry Man's retreat at Porcupine Creek, Skaguay Trail. This is a restaurant in the wilderness where you pay a dollar a meal and frequently get something you are not looking for. Yet one's appetite is such after these weary marches that anything is eaten with relish, particularly if a little fresh meat is included. The most prevalent trouble in this part is scurvey, which is the result of a scarcity of vegetables and fresh meat. A diet of beans, salt pork and bad bacon with flour at $50.00 a sack brings trouble; and a restaurant in the wilderness is a very welcome spectable even if one does have to pay a dollar for a four-ounce steak." (Frank La Roche, En Route to the Klondike, 1898) Klondike Gold Rush.
