Summary
editDescriptionLife in Alaska - The World's Fair 1904.jpg |
English: Original text: Life in Alaska - The strong, heavy set but agile people from the Arctic Circle formed a World's Fair colony which was popular with visitors at all tunes They were always good humored, even in July and August days when it made one feel uncomfortably warm even to look at the heavy fur clothing. But the smiles were broader and the greetings were more hearty when the cool nights came and the reindeer coats and trousers were desirable. The picture presents a scene in the Esquimau Village of the Universal Exposition. At the foot of the scenic mountain stands a typical tent or hut of reindeer skins such, as is easily transported and quickly pitched for camp purposes on hunting and fishing trips. The Esquimau at the entrance to the tent holds his gun. A log house, low and heavily framed to resist the winter s blast, represents Esquimau progress toward civilization. It is an improvement on the ice home of the primitive Esquimau. The woman seated on the sledge was a member of the community which occupied a corner of the Exposition Grounds of the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893. The placid looking woman is interesting as the mother of Nancy Columbia, who stands near her. The young lady of eleven years, wearing a reindeer suit of leggings and jacket, is the belle of the village. She enjoys the distinction of having been born at a World’s Fair. She was christened at Chicago. |
