Louis Stein collection

  • CA mac mac-56
  • Collection
  • [ca. 1897-1905]

The core of the collection is a large album of Klondike Gold Rush photographs. Interspersed with the photographs by professional photographers E.A. Hegg and H.C. Barley are personal and amateur candid photographs of the "Brackett and Robinson Company", a group of men and women travelling over the White Pass. This was a prospecting company which instead of going to the Klondike went to Atlin Lake, British Columbia and worked claims on Pine Creek. Captions accompany many of the photographs. The photographs document their expedition which began in Seattle, Washington in 1898 and proceeded by steamer up the Lynn Canal to Skagway, up the White Pass to Bennett, Tagish Lake, Atlin Lake and ended at Discovery on Pine Creek. They travelled by horse, dog sled, hand pulled sled and at one point with a sail on a sled. These photographs give a glimpse of life on the trail, working a gold claim, camp life, neighbouring First Nations and their boats, and scenic Atlin Lake. Photographers included in this collection are Hegg, Barley, Goetzman, and the Muirhead Bros. Locations mentioned in the captions include Seattle, Wrangell, Skagway, Summit Lake, Log Cabin, Bennett, Tagish Lake, Atlin Lake, Discovery, Margart Creek, Pine Creek, Birch Creek, and Wright Creek.
