  • CA yuk yuk-904
  • Fonds
  • Copied 1986 (originally created 1900)

The fonds consists of a copy of Winright Lawson Warren's diary. It begins the day he left Dawson City, Yukon, May 11, 1900 and recounts his trip to Nome, Alaska and on to Chicago, Illinois. The diary entries describe Warren's trip by boat down the Yukon River to Eagle, Circle City, the Holy Cross Mission, St. Michael, and Nome, Alaska. Warren makes daily observations about the weather, the river conditions, and the mileage covered. There are also occasional comments and descriptions concerning the communities visited, other boats on the river, and the native lifestyle. At Nome, Warren bought passage on a large steamer the "Aberdeen" to take him to Seattle. He writes about life aboard the ship, his fellow passengers, and the water/weather conditions. The last few entries are about Warren's trip by train from Seattle to Chicago, where he arrived on August 19, 1900.
