Photographer

Title

English: Mule train moving by the side of the Klondike River, ca. 1904

Description

English: Even after the opening of railroad and steamboat routes along the Yukon River and its tributaries, mules and other pack animals still carried some of the supplies to the Klondike gold fields. This was hard work, and good packtrain owners knew to pack their animals carefully and feed them well.

In this photo, taken by Larss & Duclos around 1904, a mule train makes its way along the Klondike River. The hillsides above the river are bare; the wood was cut for cabins and for fuel. Miners had to thaw the frozen ground before they could dig.
